Ways a plant's stem can help it survive?

Answer 1

There are a number of functions of the stem as well as modifications that enable the plant to survive.

Stems offer protection to the leaves by lifting them off of the ground so that they are difficult for animals to eat.

Stems may have bark (or thorns) which protects the plant from predators.

The stem encloses the vascular tissues that transport water and minerals within the plant.

Answer 2

Because a plant is stationary, it is unable to walk around and looking for water, this is where the roots come in. They grow underground and absorb water through the xylem. Now plants can grow tall, so how does this water and the sugar produced get to the very top of the plant? The stem. The stem contains xylem and phloem allowing water and sugar to move up the plant to get the very tips of the plant. The stem also allows the plant to grow higher up so it can gasther more sunlight which is used in photosynthesis to make glucose (sugar)

Answer 3

A plant's stem provides support to hold the plant upright, allowing leaves to receive sunlight for photosynthesis. Stems also transport water and nutrients between roots and leaves, and store food reserves for times of scarcity. Some plants can also reproduce asexually through stem cuttings.

Answer 4

the leafs of a plant help aplant suvive because it helps it ubsorb sun light to use photosyinsusis (which means to use sun light to mack food)

Answer 5

they give it sunlight and help it to absorb water............. it am almost positive

Answer 6
