Functions of the stem include:
1. Providing protection for the upper portions of the plant (those which normally carry the reproductive organs).
2. Protects the vascular system of the plant from environmental (weather), mechanical, insect or animal damage. In part the vascular system provides the stem with rigidity.
3. Contributes to the increase in surface area for photosynthesis, branches hold the leaves further away from the stem (where light levels can be lower), exposing more leaf area to the sun.
4. Stems also elevate the leaf canopy away from other plants which may be competing for the same sunlight (such as in dense jungles).
5. Transports water and minerals from roots to the leaves and prepared food to the roots and other plant parts.
The stem gives support and structure for the plant. The stem houses the xylem and phloem which transports water and nutrients from the root to other parts of the plant. It also protects from the leaves.
The stem on a plant works as the motorway of the plant. It transfers the nutrients collected by the roots to the actual flower and also anchors it into the ground.
stems provide the means for the transportation of water, minerals, and food.
To surpport the plant.

It is a stem that 'creeps' along the ground... Basically it reaches out from the roots and stretch outwards along grounds and grow leaves. The function is to gain a larger exposed surface area for the plant to photosynthesize more!
Because that's where the plant can absorb the water...not through the flowers or leaves.
yes,they have circulatory system which consist of stem,which circulate the food made by leaves to other parts of the plant.
Because chorophyll is the pigment responsible for photosynthesis, which requires light to function, so there is no chlorophyll in the roots, and only a small amount in the stem.
The plant stem has two functions. The plant stem supports the leaves and flowers. The plant stem also transports water and food to the plant.
Awnser The function of a stem is to pass water to the roots
The function of the stem in many plants is to help transport nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. For sunflowers, this is especially important due to the length those nutrients have to go.
The stem is to transport water and food to the ovule of the flower for reproduction
it gives the plant food
is to transport water for roots to the stem
its a structual thing it holds the flower and the leaves

It is the part of the seed that develops into the stem.
Stem
the bud at the terminal end of the stem is an apical bud
The root... draws water into the plant from the soil. The flower... entices insects to pollinate the plant. The leaf... absorbs oxygen from the air. The stem... transports water from the roots - throughout the plant.
