Question

Why roots, stems and leaves are called vegetative parts of a plant?

Answer 1

Stems, roots, and leaves are the vegetative parts of vascular plants. Stems are the basic organs, as they give rise to other plant organs, such as roots, leaves, and flowers. Both aerial and subterranean stems are divided into nodes (the places where leaves arise) and internodes (the regions between adjacent nodes).

Answer 2

Vegetables are parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. The original meaning is still commonly used and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including the flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds.
