During which stage of plant development is a complex body organization formed?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific stage in the plant development process when a complex body organization is established. It lists four stages of plant development for consideration, and we are to identify which one corresponds to this characteristic.
Answer
Postembryonic development phase.
The complex body organization of a plant is formed during the postembryonic development phase.
Answer for screen readers
The complex body organization of a plant is formed during the postembryonic development phase.
More Information
During the postembryonic phase, meristems created during embryogenesis proliferate to give rise to the complex structures of the mature plant, including the shoot and root systems.
Tips
A common mistake is to assume the complex body organization is formed during the embryonic stage. In plants, true complexity develops after germination.
