(a) Root and stem
(c) Herb and shrub
(d)Creeper and climber
(e) Reticulate venation and parallel venation
(f)stamen and pistil
Answers
Answer:
- ROOT AND STEM = The part of the plant which is present above the surface of the soil is called Stems, while Roots is the part of the plant which is present below the soil surface. ... Most importantly stems possess leaves, but roots do not. A common flowering plant (vascular plants) possess a well-defined root and shoot system.
- HERB AND SHURB =Herbs and shrubs are the different types of plants categorized on the basis of their size and branching pattern. Herbs have soft and unbranched stems, whereas, shrubs have woody, branched and multi stems. Shrubs are often confused with herbs because of their similar characteristics, but shrubs are taller than herbs.
Answer:
(a) Differences Between Stem and Root. Stems are the parts of plants that bear branches, leaves, and fruits. Roots are the underground parts of plants that bear root hairs. Their primary function is to supply minerals, water, and food to all plant parts
(c) Herbs and shrubs are the different types of plants categorized on the basis of their size and branching pattern. Herbs have soft and unbranched stems, whereas, shrubs have woody, branched and multi stems. Shrubs are often confused with herbs because of their similar characteristics, but shrubs are taller than herbs.
(d) The difference is that creepers spread horizontally along the soil. At the nodal regions - where leaves grow - they produce fibre-like roots arising from the base of the stem, which get fixed and grow further. Such weak stems in creepers are called prostrate stems. Climbers take the support of an object for climbing.
(e) Parallel venation is when the formation of veins are parallel to each other through the leaf. ... Reticulate venation refers to the arrangement of veins in a leaf where they form a web-like structure. Smaller and more delicate veins emerge from the midrib and spread in the entire leaf.
(f) Stamen is composed of anther and filament. The pistil is composed of stigma, style, and ovary. ... The key difference between stamen and pistil is that stamen is the male reproductive organ which produces pollens of angiosperms while pistil is the female reproductive organ which produces ovules of angiosperms.
