Question

why plants are thicker at bottom ? Is there any reason other than to give it support

Answer 1

$\huge{\fbox{\fbox{\bigstar{\mathfrak{\red{Answer}}}}}}$

The thickening of the stem that occurs in secondary growth is due to the formation of secondary phloem and secondary xylem by the vascular cambium, plus the action of cork cambium, which forms the tough outermost layer of the stem. The cells of the secondary xylem contain lignin, which provides hardiness and strength❤️
