and is primarily
located in the upper
part of the plant.
 This structure is
essential for holding
the plant upright and
providing support,
connecting roots to
leaves.
 These reproductive
structures attract
pollinators and
facilitate the
production of seeds
through fertilization.
 This vascular tissue
is responsible for
transporting water
from the roots to the
leaves.
 These small,
undeveloped shoots
can grow into new
leaves or flowers and
are found at the node
of the stem.
 This part of the
plant protects the
seeds and aids in the
dispersal after
fertilization.
 This vascular tissue
distributes the
products of
photosynthesis, such
as sugars, throughout
the plant.
 These buds are
found at the tips of th
stem and are
responsible for vertica
growth.
  This part of the
shoot system plays a
crucial role in the
plant’s ability to adap
and grow in different
directions.
 These structures
can help climbing
plants attach to
supports, allowing
them to grow upward

 What colors do you

see in the plant?
 How tall is the plant
in the picture?
 What does the plant
 wrap around or lean
against?
 How many parts of
the plant can you see?
 What shape are the
leaves on the plant?
 Are the leaves large
or small?
 What is the main
color of the plant?
 Does the plant have a
thick or thin stem?
 How does the plant
look: healthy or wilted?
 Can you see any
insects on the plant?

3. Transport
The movement of
water, nutrients, and
sugars within the
plant through special
tissues (xylem and
phloem).
4. Reproduction
The process by which
plants produce new
plants, either through
seeds (sexual
reproduction) or by
 making copies of
themselves (asexual
reproduction).

 Roots: The parts of a

plant that grow
underground. They absorb
water and nutrients from the
soil and anchor the plant
securely in place.
 Underground: Refers to
the part of the plant that is
located beneath the soil
surface. This includes roots,
as well as any underground
stems or tubers.
 Anchoring: The process
by which roots secure the
plant in the soil, preventing
it from being uprooted by
wind, water, or other forces.
 Anchoring helps stabilize the
plant as it grows.

Transport

Function: The shoot

system contains
vascular tissues—
xylem and phloem—
that transport water,
nutrients, and sugars
throughout the plant.
Xylem carries water
 from the roots to the
leaves, while phloem
distributes the
products of
photosynthesis.
Importance: Effective
transport is essential
for maintaining the
plant's physiological
functions and overall
health.
Growth and
Development

Function: The shoot

system is responsible
for vertical and
lateral growth. Apical
and axillary buds
play key roles in this
growth, allowing
plants to adapt to
their environment.
Importance:
Understanding
growth patterns
helps in managing
plant development
for optimal yields in
agricultural and
horticultural
practices.
