Answer:

The main parts of a plant include:

1.Roots

2.Stem

3.Leaves

4.Flowers

5.Fruits

Roots : Roots are the important and underground part of a plant, which are collectively called the root system. They are the major part that anchors the plant firmly in the soil. They absorb water and minerals from the soil, synthesis plant growth regulators, and store reserve food material. The apical part of the root is covered by the root cap that protects the root apex. The direct elongation of radicle leads to the formation of primary roots that grow inside the soil in dicots. It bears lateral roots that are known as secondary and tertiary roots. In monocots, the primary root is replaced by a large number of roots because it is short-lived. In some plants such as Banyan tree, the roots arise from the parts of the plant and not from the radical. Such roots are known as adventitious roots.

Few plants that grow in swampy areas ave roots growing vertically upwards to get oxygen for respiration. Such roots are known as pneumatophores.

Stem :The stem is the part of the plant which is found above the ground. The bark of trees are brown in color and younger stems are green in colour. It forms the basis of the shoot system and bears leaves, fruits and flowers. The region where the leaves arise is known as the node and the region between the nodes is known as the inter-node. Stems arise from the plume, vertically upwards to the ground. Initially, stems are usually weak and cannot stand straight. It eventually grows to become the toughest part of the plant called the trunk. The trunk is covered by a thick outer covering known as the bark. Overall stem provides a definite framework and structure to a plant, which later develops into a tree. The stem provides support to the plant. They also protect the plant and help in vegetative propagation. A few underground stems such as potato and ginger are modified to store food.

Leaves: Leaves are the most important part of a plant. They contain chlorophyll that helps the plants to prepare their food using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. A leaf consists of three main parts- petiole, leaf base and lamina. The petiole keeps the leaf blade exposed to wind and cools the leaf. The leaf base is a protruding part of a leaf. The lamina of the leaf contains veins and vein-lets that provide rigidity to the leaf blade and help in the transport of mineral nutrients.

Flowers : Flowers are the most beautiful and colorful part of a plant. They are the reproductive part of a plant.

Fruits : Fruits are the main features of a flowering plant. It is a matured ovary that develops after fertilization. Some fruits are developed without fertilization and are known as Parthenocarpy or parthenocarpic fruits.

Thus, we see how different parts of a plant help in the growth and development of a plant. All the plant parts are beneficial and work in coordination with each other.
