The Plant
The plant is associated with a green living thing. It cannot move. Most plants are green and have leaves or leaf-like structures. However, not all plants are green and have leaves. There are some plants whose colors are not green even though they have stems and leaves.
In general, we know that the parts of plants are root, stem, leaf, flower, seed, etc. The root is the part that grows underground. It has two functions. The first is to absorb water and inorganic substances from the soil. The second is to support other parts of the plant body.
The stem is the main axis of the plant. It develops buds and shoots. It functions in transporting through vascular tissues, xylem and phloem. Xylem transports water and dissolved material from the root upward to the leaf. Phloem transports food material downward from the leaf to the body cells. It also has a function as the food storage.
The leaf is usually a flat lateral out growth from stem or branch. The primary function of a leaf is to produce food by photosynthesis. A leaf is generally green because of the leaf green matter, the chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is an important material in photosynthesis, a process of carbohydrate formation from carbon dioxide and water.
