PLANTS: STEMS AND ROOTS
SBI 3C: JANUARY 2013
![Page 2: PLANTS: STEMS AND ROOTS SBI 3C: JANUARY 2013. ROOTS Below ground Generally larger than the shoots above ground.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649f495503460f94c6aa9f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
ROOTS
Below ground Generally larger than
the shoots above ground

ROOTS - FUNCTION
Absorb water and minerals Support and anchor plant Food storage Food source
Ex. Carrots, radish, potatoes

ROOTS - TYPES
Taproots Large, tapering main root Small side branches Go deep into soil to get water Ex. Carrot
Fibrous roots Many smaller roots of equal size Do not grow deeply Hold soil in place to prevent erosion Ex. grass

ROOT GROWTH
Apical Meristem – cell division occurs Root cap – protective cap covers the apical
meristem and the new cells Zone of elongation – cells get larger Zone of maturation – cells mature and
become different cells like phloem and xylem

STEMS
With the leaves, make up the shoot

STEMS - FUNCTIONS
Support for above-ground structures Link roots with leaves Store food and water Allow plant to grow
in size and mass

HERBACEOUS STEMS
Herbaceous (non-wood) plants have soft, bendy stems
Relatively weak so generally don’t grow more than 1m high
Xylem and phloem are arranged in bundles

VASCULAR TISSUE
Xylem (ZEYE-lum): Tissue that moves water and minerals from roots to leaves Consists of non-living cells
Phloem (FLOW-um): Tissue that moves nutrients from leaves to all other plant
cells Consists of living cells

XYLEM AND PHLOEM TRANSPORT

WOOD STEMS
Hard and do not bend easily Extremely strong so wood
plants can grow over 100m tall
Xylem and phloem form rings in wood trees and shrubs

STEM ADAPTATIONS
Cacti stems absorb and store large amounts of water
Potatoes use stems for food storage Stems produce new plants by asexual
reproduction Ex. Strawberries

USING ROOTS AND STEMS
Wood and maple syrup are both from stems Food such as carrots, yams, sugar Flavourings: root beer, ginger ale come from
root extracts Cinnamon from the bark of trees Latex sap used in chewing gum and erasers Dyes, resins and tannins
