Edible plant stems are one part of plants that are eaten by humans. Most plants are made up of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, buds and produce fruits containing seeds. Humans most commonly eat the seeds. An example of seeds are maize, wheat, coffee and various nuts, fruit examples include tomato and apples and leaves which are lettuce, spinach and cabbage, or toots examples are carrots and beets. Humans also eat the stems of many plants such as asparagus. There are also a few edible leaf stalks such as celery and some edible flowers.
yes they do.
Stems generally do not store food or water, as their main role is to provide structural support and transport nutrients between different parts of the plant. However, some plants have modified stems, such as rhizomes or tubers, that can store food reserves to support growth during periods of stress or dormancy.
No, barley plants do not store food in their stems. The food reserves in barley plants are typically stored in the endosperm of the grain, which is the part used to make barley flour and malt. The stems of barley plants primarily serve as the main structural support for the plant.

Yes, plant stems transport food in the form of sugars produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant for growth and energy. This process, known as translocation, occurs within the phloem tissue of the stem.
The food storage area in roots is called the cortex or storage roots, while in stems it is called the pith or storage stems. These areas store carbohydrates and other nutrients for future use by the plant.

Two underground storage stems used as food are tubers and rhizomes. Tubers are thickened, fleshy underground stems like potatoes, while rhizomes are horizontal underground stems like ginger that grow beneath the surface.
