How does the stem help the plant get what it needs?

The stem of a plant acts as a conduit, transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant through vascular tissues. It also provides support for the plant, allowing it to reach sunlight for photosynthesis and to disperse seeds. Additionally, the stem can store reserves of nutrients and energy for future growth.


What affects a plant's stem thickness?

If it does not have enough sun the stem will be spindly and not look well more stem thickness is highly regulated and is related to overall growth speed. one can use plant hormones to slow down growth rate resulting is shorter and thicker stems look up tropic response in plant growth more a plant's stem gains thickness by growth of lateral meristems. Various factors affect the growth rates of these - namely water and food availability and sunlight. When the stem is regularly trimmed and prunned as seen bonsai plants.

If you cut the stem of a flower and then put it in soil what will happen?
