Answer 2

Stem

• The stem is a part of a plant.
• It mostly grows straight above the ground but can grow under the ground or along the ground.
• Stems support and give rise to leaves, flowers, fruits and buds.
• They conduct water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant.
• Stems are also storage organs of plants.
• Most plants have stems. However, plants like liverworts, hornworts and mosses do not have stems.
• Stems of different plants differ in size and appearance. Some plants have short stems and others have tall stems.
• The leaves, buds, branches and flowers grow from certain points on the stem known as nodes.
• The space between two nodes is known as internode.
• Stems consist of conducting tissues arranged in columns. They are the water-conducting tissue or xylem and the food-conducting tissue or phloem. They are known as vascular bundles.
