Parts of a Plant Diagram

Plant are living organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. They include trees, herbs, shrubs,
bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. Flowering plants have four major part
types: .

Stems and branches:Stems and branches hold up the leaves and space the leaves out.
This helps the plant to get the light it needs.

Roots:Roots help fix the plant to the soil or to other plants. Roots take in water and nutrients.

Leaves:Leaves make all the food for the plant. They do this by changing light, water and
gases into food. This process is called photosynthesis

Flowers:Flowers contain the male and female parts of the plants. Successful pollination of
the flower can result in the production of fruit and seeds.

Parts of a Plant-roots Diagram


All roots are responsible for:

Anchoring the plant to the ground


Extracting water and minerals from the soil

In a typical root we can distinguish the following parts:


1. Primary root - the thickest . It grows downwards.
2. Secondary roots - arise from the primary root. They are not as thick as the primary one. They go
sidewards.
3. Root cap - is a kind of protection the roots end with. It is designed to drill the soil and it is able to
guide the root growth by perceiving gravity.
4. Root hairs - are minute filaments roots are covered with. They absorb water and nutrients from
the soil.

Parts of a Plant-stem Diagram


Stems
All stems are responsible for:

Supporting leaves and flowers physically

Holding the leaves and flowers in the best position for food gathering and reproduction

Using xylem and phloem to transport materials from areas of plenty to areas of need in
various parts of the plant

Storing nutrients for future use

Stem have following structures:

Bud - an underdeveloped and unelongated stem composed of a short axis with compressed
internodes, a meristematic apex, and primordial leaves and/or flowers.

Terminal bud - a bud at the tip of a stem responsible for terminal growth.
Axillary bud or lateral bud - buds along side the axis of a stem; they were produced by the
terminal bud during growth; once they grow out and form a lateral stem they become
terminal buds of the lateral branch.

Flower bud - a bud containing a floral meristem which develops into flowers; usually larger
than vegetative buds.

Leaf scar - a scar marking the former point of attachment of a leaf or petiole to the stem.

Internode - the part of the stem between nodes

Node - part of stem marking the point of attachment of leaves, flowers, fruits, buds and other
stems.

Lenticel - rough areas on stems (and some fruits, ex. apple) composed of loosely packed
cells extending from the cortex through the Ruptured epidermis; serve as "breathing pores"
for gas exchange. Only occur on young stems.

Parts of a Plant-leaves Diagram

All leaves are responsible for:


Absorbing the sun's rays for photosynthesis

Taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen and water vapor (breathing)

Removing waste products from the plant

Using osmotic pressure to draw water up from the roots

Parts of a Plant-flower ,fruits and Seeds Diagram


The Flower:

The flower is the reproductive unit of some plants . Parts of the flower include petals, sepals, one or
more carpels and stamens .
Fruit
The fruit is that part of a plant which is in charge of protecting the seeds and guarantee their
dispersal. It becomes as a result of the fertilization inside the carpel, which produce the ripening of
the ovary walls that will create the fruit. Some fruits, however, have another origin, deriving from the
flower receptacle or some other parts of the flower.

Seed

The seed is enclosed inside the endocarp.:


The radicle is the part of the embryo which emerges first. Once outside it develops into a main root,
producing root hairs and secondary roots.

The plumule is like a leaf in its early development.

The hypocotyl is the space between the radicle and the plumule. It develops into a stem.
The endosperm is the food supply contained in the seed. This is sometimes included in the
cotyledons, which either achieve the function of primary leaves or food storage, even both of
them in some cases.

The seed coat or testa - is the outer layer of the seed.

The micropyle is a litle pore on the seed coat , through which, apart from entering the sperm,
the seed absorbs water to begin germination.
