types of roots
taproots
a plant's main root that grows straight down from the crown of the plant:
Stems function
A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root
Aerial roots
roots that grow above the ground, often from a plant's stem or branches
Leaves function
a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk. Leaves are the main organs of photosynthesis and transpiration.
Storage roots
specialized underground organs that store nutrients and water for plants
Flowers function
facilitate reproduction in plants by producing seeds through the process of pollination
Fibrous root
a type of root system that branch out in all directions and have no central axis
Seeds function
Seeds protect the embryo, or young plant, inside them. The seed coat protects the embryo from damage
Parasite roots
the roots of parasitic plants that penetrate the host plant's tissues to absorb nutrients
Fruits function
Fruits help flowering plants reproduce by spreading their seeds. Seeds can be dispersed in many ways, including by wind, water, gravity, or animals
