Question

how roots and stem alike​

Answer 1

Answer:

In some cases, roots look similar to stems—so what's the difference? It's tempting to say that stems are above ground, and roots below ground—but that's not entirely accurate. (See sidebar.) One simple difference is that stems bear leaves, and roots don't. Here are some other, less obvious, ways to distinguish stems from roots.

Similarity: Both stems and roots contain vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), the circulatory system of the plant.

Difference: In herbaceous stems, the vascular tissues are contained in bundles; these bundles sit relatively near the surface of the stem. In roots, the vascular tissues form a central core—a location where they're protected from the harsh activity of pushing through soil. (We are referring to young, non-woody tissues.)

Answer 2

Roots get the minerals and water from soil by diffusion. And stem transports it to different parts of the plant.
