6.1.3: Stems - Biology LibreTexts
WEBLearn about the function, structure, and growth of stems, the part of the plant that connects the roots to the leaves. Find out what an apical bud and a meristem are, and how they affect the shape and size of stems.
3.3 Roots – The Science of Plants - Open Textbook Library
WEBLearn about the types, purposes, and functions of roots, the plant parts that absorb water and nutrients. Find out how roots interact with soil organisms, store energy, and develop tap or fibrous root systems.
WEBStems are the part of a plant that bears leaves and flowers, and they are the continuation of the vascular system pipeline that starts in the roots. Stems can grow in length at the tips and in girth in older stems that have developed a vascular cambium.
