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.
A "stem" is a part of a plant. It is a vascular structure that supports heaves or flowers and connects these to the roots of the plant. It also sends the sugar that the plant makes up to the leaves for photosynthesis
a stem of course
poo!! in a stem
The stem is the part of the plant that provides support by holding up the plant and connecting the roots to the leaves and flowers. It also transports water and nutrients throughout the plant.
Woody stem
To keep it upright.
it is a woody stem plant
The purpose of the stem are: -for structure -to transport water and nutrients. The stem carries food and water through 2 tissues. (The xylem tissue and the Phloem tissue). The woody kind of stems have lots of xylem tissues, while non-woody stems have less xylem tissues.
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.

Yes, the shoot is a stem of a plant.
yes the plant stem is considered an organ of the plant.
plant
A strawberry plant has a stem that is called a crown stem. The strawberry's stem is short and very wide.
stem the stem sticks straight.
No but its mostly a stem. The Yam plant has leaves and roots but the food is the stem of the plant. If you are talking about the food, yes but if you are talking about the plant, no.
The cell in the plant stem helps the plant by transporting water and materials throughout the plant.
