Stems do many things. They support the plant. They act like the plant's Plumbing system, conducting water and nutrients from the roots and food in the form of glucose from the leaves to other plant parts. The stem provides protection for the upper portions of the plant (those which normally carry the reproductive organs). It also 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. The stem 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. Stems also elevate the leaf canopy away from other plants which may be competing for the same sunlight (such as in dense jungles).
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
Yes, the stem of a guava plant is generally hard and woody in mature plants. The hardness of the stem provides support and structure for the plant as it grows.
The stem on a flower acts like a highway transporting nutrients to other areas of the plant.
The stem gives the plant water,and the pitchers eat the food!
it is a woody stem plant
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.
The stem's main functions are to support the leaves, send water and minerals to the leaves where photosynthesis converts them into usable products and to transport these products from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
A strawberry plant has a stem that is called a crown stem. The strawberry's stem is short and very wide.
plant
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.
