Study Notes
Root System
- A root system with a dominant primary root in size is called a taproot system.
Root Structure
- The root tip has a structure consisting of the root apical meristem, juvenile cells, and root cap.
Root Features
- The filament-like protuberances from the surface of the root are called root hairs.
Stem Structure
- The stretch of stem between two successive nodes is called an internode.
Plant Development
- All cells and organs of the primary plant body ultimately arise from the apical meristem.
