    A Plant's Organ Systems and Their Functions

    Uploaded by

    Mariel Kho
    The document discusses the different organ systems in plants and their functions. It describes the shoot system which contains reproductive parts like flowers and fruits, as well as vegetative parts like leaves and stems. It then explains the functions of leaves, stems, and roots, and different types of root structures like rhizomes and tubers that store nutrients. Finally, it outlines the differences between monocot and dicot root systems in terms of their vascular bundle arrangements and patterns of secondary growth.

    Leaves - A leaf is a flattened, green,

    lateral appendage that carries out

    the functions of photosynthesis and Stem - It is the organ of the plant that supports

    transpiration. It is responsible for the leaves and flowers in the best position. It is

    taking in carbon dioxide and the passageway of nutrients from the soil to the

    releasing oxygen and water vapor. different parts of the plant.

    Root System
    Roots - Roots absorb water and minerals and

    transport them to stems. They also anchor and

    support a plant, and store food.


    Rhizomes - Rhizomes are used to store

    starches and proteins and enable

    plants to perennate underground.


    Tubers - Tubers are used as storage organs for

    nutrients. They are used for perennation to

    provide energy and nutrients for regrowth and

    as a means of asexual reproduction.

    Types of Root Systems

    Monocot Roots - In monocot roots, xylem Dicot roots - Dicot roots have their xylem in

    and phloem tissue bundles are arranged in a the center of the root and phloem outside

    circular fashion around the central pith, the xylem. The steles of dicot roots contain

    which consists of ground tissue. Monocot a layer of meristem cells located between

    roots have a larger number of vascular the xylem and phloem. These cells facilitate

    structures than dicot roots. secondary growth, dividing to create new

    xylem and phloem cells, and thus widening

    the girth of the root.
