Question

Why are root and shoot systems so called? I will mark you the brainliest!

Answer 1

Dear Student,

A plant mainly consists of two systems :
Shoot system : The shoot system is found above the soil surface. It includes stems, leaves, flowers and fruits.
Root system : The root system is found below the soil surface. It includes roots.

Root system is of two types:
Tap root system: As seen in raddish; here there is a stable main roots from which small roots arise.
Fibrous root system: As seen in grasses; here the main root is not stable and is replaced by many roots forming a cluster of roots.

Answer 2

Plant Root and Shoot System. Plants have two Organ Systems: the shoot system and the root system. Stems have many jobs, including supporting the plant; acting like the plant's plumbing system, conducting water and nutrients from the roots and food in the form of sugar (glucose) made in the leaves to other plant parts.
