Answer:

Stems and Roots- Important Plant PartsIs this page helpful?The producers on our planet, plants are autotrophic. Plants are designed in such a way that they can produce their food from sunlight, water, and minerals in the soil. The two main parts of a plant body are the stem, the part that stays above the ground and holds the other parts of the plant, and the root which grows below the ground and helps keep the plant fixed in one place. The roots absorb minerals and water. Both these plant parts have many important functions on which the survival of the plants depend.StemThe stem of a plant emerges from the plumule of the embryo, exhibiting growth that is positively phototropic and negatively geotropic. Stems have nodes and internodes that facilitate the growth of different plant structures such as leaves, branches, flower buds, etc.Functions of the StemTo facilitate fluid and nutrition transport.Provide mechanical support to the plant body. It changes into a trunk as the plant grows into a tree. The trunk is the hard, brown part that gives physical support. To provide an appropriate arrangement of branches and leaves.Storage of nutrients and water.Provide for the lifelong growth of the plant.It facilitates the production of new cells and tissues.Stems are composed of morphological structures- nodes, internodes, and axillary buds.RootsRoots are the major vegetative parts of the plants that are negatively geotropic. Roots develop from the radicals of the embryo.Functions of RootsAbsorption of waterStorage of nutrientsProviding anchorage to the plantsFacilitating vegetative propagationRoots are of various types like taproots, adventitious roots, lateral roots, fibrous roots, etc.Let us look at the major differences between stem and roots
