Do plants have a stomach?

Plants do not have a stomach. They obtain nutrients through their roots and then transport them to different parts of the plant for growth and development. Plants do not have digestive systems like animals do.


Why do the roots of plants bend away from sun light?

Roots of plants tend to grow away from sunlight because they exhibit negative phototropism. This ensures that they grow towards moisture and nutrients in the soil rather than towards the light which roots do not need for photosynthesis. Roots need to grow where they can efficiently absorb water and nutrients to support the plant's growth and development.


Do non vascular plants have roots with microscopic hairs?

Non-vascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, do not have true roots; instead, they have structures called rhizoids that anchor them to the substrate. These rhizoids are generally simple and do not have the microscopic hairs found in the roots of vascular plants. Instead, they primarily serve to provide stability rather than to absorb water and nutrients, as non-vascular plants typically absorb them directly through their surfaces.


Vascular plants are land plants that have roots stems and leaves.?

Perhaps. There are water plants however that have roots, stems, and leaves.


Why is it not necessary for plants to have a digestive system?

Plants generate their own energy by reacting carbon dioxide and water with sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen (photosynthesis). They get other nutrients from the soil through their roots. Because they obtain everything they need through these means they don't need to consume any food.

Why does non green plants not have a digestive system?

Non green plants dont have a digestive system because they only suck the water out of the soil through the roots.


Why do plants need roots rather then digestive?

since they grow in the ground they grow roots in the ground for nutrients and the sun also helps it give energy to grow the roots under ground also capture the water in the ground because that's their only way of capturing water.

Why are The roots of plants are important to photosynthesis?

Water used in photosynthesis by plants is made available by roots. That is why roots of plants are important to photosynthesis in terrestrial plants. Aqatic plants absorb water from their free surface, hence role of roots in these plants is limited.

Do plants grow from roots?

Not all plants have roots (eg phytoplankton) and while some plants do grow form their roots (eg grasses), most plants do not grow from their roots but from their apical growing tip.


Why are roots important to plants?

Roots are an incredibly important element to a great many plants. These plants depend on the roots to suck up water.

Why is tomatoes have not swollen roots?

Tomato plants typically do not have swollen roots because their root system is designed for efficient nutrient and water uptake rather than storage. Unlike plants such as carrots or beets, which develop swollen roots for energy storage, tomatoes invest in a fibrous root system that supports their growth and fruit production. Swollen roots can also indicate issues like overwatering or root rot, which are detrimental to the plant's health. Thus, healthy tomato roots remain slender and functional rather than swollen.
