Elongation of the stem is the "streaching" of the stem, this occurs between the nodal points and if controlled by growth regulating hormones (such as gibberillins).
Etiolation is the term used to describe the excessive streaching of the stem; this is normally caused by low light conditions or over crowded conditions.

What are the 3 major plant organs?
3 examples of organs in a plant are:StigmaStamenOva
What is the growth of plant roots down word and shoots upward called?
Elongation of the meristematic tissue
What is an underground stem from which new leaves and roots can grow?
A horizontal underground plant stem with leaf shoots above and roots below is called a rhizome.
What part of the plant anchors the plant?
their roots or rhizomes in mosses and ferns
Which part of a plant anchors it to the ground?
the answer is the roots
What are the 3 major plant organs?
3 examples of organs in a plant are:StigmaStamenOva
What is apical growth?
It is when growth occurs at the tips of roots and shoots of a plant
How do plant hormones control the growth of roots and shoots?
Auxin controls the growth of the plant. Auxin in the roots of the plant inhibits growth whereas in the stems in the stems it encourages growth.
What plant tissue located at the tips of roots and shoots will differentiate into different plant cells?
meristematic
What is the primary growth of the stem?
It is the lengthening of the stem and roots.
What is the primary growth of a stem?
It is the lengthening of the stem and roots.
What are the four steps to micropropagation?
Stage 0- Picking an plant stage 1- taking plant and disecting roots, shoots etc and placing into media stage 2- taking grown plant from stage 1 and disecting shoots and roots etc again and placing into media (growing roots) stage3- transferring plant to soil to acclimitize it before you plant out doors stage4- replanting plant in soil outside and letting it grow/survive
Why are the responses of shoots and roots important in the life of plants?
plant respones happenes as a result of a plant to hormones which coordinates and and control growth
What are the 2 major parts of plant?
The two major parts of a plant are the roots and the shoots. The roots are typically found below ground and are responsible for anchoring the plant, absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. The shoots are above ground and include the stem, leaves, flowers, and fruits. They are responsible for photosynthesis, reproduction, and support of the plant.
What kind of growth involves roots and shoots but not reproductive structures and in most plant?
The kind of growth that involves roots and shoots but not reproductive structures is called vegetative reproduction. Some biologists call it asexual reproduction.
What is the growth of plant roots down word and shoots upward called?
Elongation of the meristematic tissue
Which part of the plant does fertilizer help?
Typically, the above ground shoots of a plant are helped by nitrogen, the below ground roots by phosphorus, and the plant's flowering and fruiting by the potassium in fertilizer.
