Stems
Xylem and Phloem
Kinds of Stems
Leaves grow on stems, which are a plants organ and hold the leaves high so that they get more sunlight.
Xylem tissues are tubes that carry water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Phloem tissues are tubes that carry sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Dead phloem make up the bark from a tree.
Woody stems have lots of xylem tissue like trees and shrubs.
Soft stems have less xylem tissue like tulips and pea plants.

Roots
Functions of Roots
Roots are also plant organs that grow in the ground, are strong, hold the plant in place and allow the plant to get water from the ground.
A taproot is large, grows straight down and stores food for the plant. Some examples are carrots, beats and turnips.
A fibrous root system has many roots that grow in all directions and get smaller and smaller as they grow out.
Roots hold a plant in place and may store food. Roots also take in water and minerals from the soil through the root hairs to help the plant grow, reproduce and repair itself.
