Plant Adaptations
![Page 2: Plant Adaptations. Structure and Function The structure and function of plant parts is evidence of adaptation. Plant populations and species develop defenses.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649ce35503460f949afbb0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Structure and FunctionThe structure and function of
plant parts is evidence of adaptation.
Plant populations and species develop defenses against consumers, ways to attract pollinators, and seed dispersal to ensure survival.

Common Plant PartsThere are more than half a
million different types of plants, and even though they look different, they all have some common parts.
Most plants have:◦Roots◦Stems◦Leaves ◦Flowers

Obtaining Food/NutrientsAll plants must find and take in
nutrients◦food◦carbon dioxide◦water

RootsMost roots act as anchors to keep
the plant in the ground.
Roots take in water and minerals from the soil through tiny root hairs.
Roots can also store food.
Different roots are also adapted to their different environments.

Some roots spread out in search of water in places where it rains often such as in a rain forest.
Roots carry water and minerals to the plant.

• Some roots grow deep into the ground in search of water in places where it rains very little such as a desert.

Special Roots
• These roots begin on a stem rather than below the ground. They are used for support to prop or brace up the tree.

Storage Roots
Some plants are able to store food in their roots for later use.
People grow these plants to eat such as sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, and radishes.
