Question

Describe various parts of an angiospermic plant a well labelled diagram

Answer 1

Parts of an angiospermic plant can be very conveniently observed in a common annual plant like sunflower (Fig. 17) or mustard (Fig. 18).

The underground organs are the roots, by means of which the angiospermic  plant remains anchored to the soil.

Moreover, the roots absorb water and mineral matters from the soil. The main root has many branches and sub-branches going in different directions in the soil to carry on the functions effectively.

The aerial portion is called the shoot. The axis continuous to the root is the stem which bears leaves at the joints called nodes. The inner angle formed between stem and leaf is called the axil of the leaf. Buds are present at the axil. Theses buds, in courses of times, develop into branches.
