If the stem and shoot were to grow before the roots the plant will fall over and die. It has to root so that the plant will have support and food to grow up.
Since root root has to absorb water and other nutrient for growth and development, its emergence from the seed before shoot is essential.
What else can I help you with?
What part of the plant becomes the shoot?
plumule develops into a shoot and then form a shoot system
What caused the root and the shoot to grow in the directions they did?
The root grows downward due to gravitropism, a plant's response to gravity, while the shoot grows upward towards light through phototropism, a plant's response to light. These directional growth patterns enable the root to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil, while the shoot reaches for sunlight to undergo photosynthesis for energy production.
When seeds germinate which part of the plant will grow first?
The first part of a plant to grow is the root. The mesocotyle of the seed can be differentiated into epicotyle and hypocotyle. The hypocotyle is the part that grows into the root system and the epicotyle is that which grows into the shoot system. After the basic differentiation of the cells of the mesocotyle into those of hypocotyle and epicotyle, the root begins to form from the hypocotyle. It absorbs the initial essential minerals reqiured by the development of the rest of the parts i.e. the shoot.
Is a stem the same as a root?
Yes. The stem grows from the root. It is the ROOT that grows first, not the stem; therefore the stem cannot possibly grow otherwise! It makes sense that something cannot exist without the other being their first; therefore the STEM could not have grown if the ROOT had not been there 1st
How long should you leave a clipping in root toner before planting it?
Typically, you should leave a clipping in root toner for about 24 hours before planting it to allow the root hormones to stimulate root growth. This will increase the chances of successful propagation when transferring the clipping to soil.
What part of the plant becomes the shoot?

What happens to a plant which was grown horizontal?
Ultimately the shoot grows upward and the root downward

How is the shoot apical meristem different from the root apical meristem?
The main difference betweem root and shoot apical meristem is that in case of root apical meristem dermatogen and periblem fuses at apex and give rise to calyptrogen which is responsible for the formation of root cap

Does a shoot or a root grow first in a broad bean?
first the root then the shoot
What are the two main organ systems in a plant?
Shoot System: Everything above the ground (stem, leaves, flower, fruits) Root System: Everything Underground (Roots)
How does a tiny acorn transform into a growing tree?
An acorn transforms into a tree through a process called germination. When the acorn is planted in soil, it absorbs water and nutrients, causing it to swell and eventually sprout a root. The root grows downward into the soil to anchor the tree, while a shoot grows upward towards the sunlight. As the shoot continues to grow, it develops leaves for photosynthesis and eventually becomes a mature tree.
What kind of root system does a lily have?
The lily has a taproot system. The taproot goes straight down as it grows and smaller roots shoot off the sides and grow outward.
What are the organs under the shoot system of plant?
under the shoot system is the root system which consists the root
Is bulb a root or shoot?
bulb is always a root
