28 sie 2024 · Stem Anatomy. The stem and other plant organs are primarily made from three simple cell types: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells. Parenchyma cells are the most common plant cells. They are found in the stem, the root, the inside of the leaf, and the pulp of the fruit.
3 dni temu · In this explainer, we will learn how to describe the basic structure of a plant stem and recall the functions of different parts of the stem. Plant stems are vital to their survival. Stems are long, stalk-like structures that form the main body of a plant.
3.1 Stems – Plant Anatomy and Physiology. Stems are produced by the primary apical meristem in but may be increased in girth in woody plants due to secondary growth. Secondary growth is produced by lateral meristems in the woody stems and roots of woody plants.
Stems are a part of the shoot system of a plant. They may range in length from a few millimeters to hundreds of meters, and also vary in diameter, depending on the plant type. Stems are usually above ground, although the stems of some plants, such as the potato, also grow underground.
External Structure of the Stem of a Typical Dicotyledonous Plant . Stem Function: a. Support of main body of plant & leaves. b. Conduct water & food. c. Photosynthesis in new green stems.
