It helps the plant live
cell-shaped
The job of cells found in stems is to uphold the stem and help to keep its shape. Cells also act as a stems "brain" telling it when to capture the correct amount ogf sunlight water and air.
The glue cells that perform the function of support and protection are called sclerenchyma cells. These cells have thick, rigid cell walls containing lignin, providing structural support to plants. Sclerenchyma cells are found in stems, roots, and leaves, contributing to the overall strength and protection of the plant.
Yes. Stems do have cells.
Xylem
Biology is not really my area of expertise, so better answers may well follow. Cells perform a myriad of functions, photosynthetic cells are all about using light to create energy and therefore would be no use in the dark. Why would tree roots, for example, need photosynthetic cells?
The cell type most commonly found in the cortex of stems and roots is the parenchyma cell. These cells are responsible for storage, support, and photosynthesis in plants.
Somatic cells are any of the cells that are found in plants or animals other than the reproductive cell or gamete cell. In mammals the somatic cells are found in the skin, bones, blood, connective tissue. In plants they are found in stems, leaves, roots, branches.
6 places adult stem cells can be found are found are hematopoietic stem cells found in bone marrow, mammary stems cells found in mammary glands, Intestinal stem cells found in the intestines, mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells that line blood vessels, and neural stem cells found in the brain.
Meristem cells undergo multiple divisions for apical growth at the tips of stems. These cells are found in the shoot apical meristem and root apical meristem of plants, and continuously produce new cells for growth and development.
Monocot stems are typically found in plants with parallel venation, while dicot stems are found in plants with reticulate venation. Monocot stems are usually found in the stems of grasses and palms, whereas dicot stems are found in a wide range of flowering plants.
