Basic Needs for Plant Growth

Essential for optimal growth, providing nutrients and support for plant development.

It provides energy for photosynthesis, the process by which plants create food.

Ensures plants receive adequate hydration for their physiological processes.

It contributes to healthy development and survival.

They anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients.

The part of the plant involved in reproduction, often colorful and fragrant.

The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to fuel their growth.

They regulate gas exchange, releasing oxygen and taking in carbon dioxide.

To maximize light capture for photosynthesis in the dense forest environment.

Defense mechanisms to deter herbivores from consuming the plant.

To conserve water in dry conditions.

The waxy surface minimizes water loss through transpiration.

To maximize sunlight capture for photosynthesis.

These stems store water, enabling survival in arid environments.
