Plant Biology

These roots are shallow and dense. They control erosion by clinging firmly to the soil.

The portion of plant between the nodes

I creep underground and I am usually long an very skinny i.e. iris/canna

Flower functions include

This kind of root grows straight down

This is where new cells are produced

I am enlarged, bulb-like structure at the base of stem

Roots provide

The internal parts of the plant are the

This is where the leaves develop

We absorb water and nutrients...

We are the breathing pores found along the stem

The growing point of the stem, can be either leaf or flower

Roots growing from multiple points along the stem and are very easy to propagate i.e. ivy/tomatoes

I can creep along the ground and drop roots where I want i.e. strawberry/spider plant/bermuda grass

We are the reproductive organs of the plant

We provide support to the leaves and flowers and help hold the vascular system

I transport food down the stem

Roots growing out of the soil or from along the stem of the plant, usually very long and not for propagation

I am a swollen, modified stem that grows underground i.e. potato
