Study Notes

Parts of a Plant

Flower:
- Contains reproductive organs and is often surrounded by colorful petals.
- Essential for plant reproduction as it bears seeds.
Fruit:
- Develops from the mature ovary of a flower.
- Contains seeds and often serves as a food source.
- Plays a crucial role in seed dispersal.
Root:
- Anchors the plant to the soil, providing stability.
- Located primarily underground, roots absorb water and nutrients.
- Essential for the overall health and growth of the plant.
Leaf:
- Usually green, flat, and blade-like, attaching to the stem.
- Primary site for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.
- Involved in transpiration, the process of water evaporation.
Stem:
- Acts as a support structure connecting roots and leaves.
- Facilitates the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant.
- Plays a significant role in plant structure and stability.
