the function of a branch of a plant is, quite simply, to take up as much surfice area as possible so as to maximize the effectivity of photosynthesis.
To transport water and food
Plant stems support the rest of the plant.
Leaves are kept alive by the sap from the tree.
It's the silica crystals that make horsetail fern (Equisetum hyemale) a scratchy tool.Specifically, the plant forms silica crystals on the cell walls of its stems and branches. The crystals form in response to the drying of the plant's parts. It is the persistence of these crystals in the branches and stems that make the plant a scouring tool, in many places and throughout many time periods.
it is to grow the plant
To transport water and food
To transport water and food
It is the function of the root supplying food/nutrients to the plant.
to absorb sunlight and to provide nutrients via photosynthesis
Plant stems support the rest of the plant.
By having succulent stems with grooves and modifying leaves in to spines. The function of leaves is taken up by green stems.
Plant stems support the rest of the plant.

blue light provides energy for photosynthesis. it also has an effect on plant hormons and may affect the length of stems or the rate of side branches

Monocot stems are fleshy, have no branches, and don't get in thicker as they grow. Dicot stems do indeed grow wider, often grow branches, and are fairly tough.
