Vegetative plant organs
Root, stem, leaves
Root function
- ancor plants
- absorb water and nutrient materials from the soil
- conduct water and nutrient materials to the rest of the plant
- store nutrient materials
- serve as important food resources for animals
anchor
zakotvit
root anatomy
root hairs, epidermis, cortex, pericycle, xylem, phloem
root anatomy parts
region of maturation, region of elongation, apical meristem, root cap

vascular tissue
phloem + xylem
xylem function
carries minerals and water up
phloem function
carries sugars down
apical meristem
growth + division
region of elongation
growth, no division
region of maturation
no growth, no division
Types of roots
taproot, fibrous roots, adventitious roots, aerial roots
taproot
= one big root that can store food
= bulva
- function: absorption, anchoring
- e.g. carrot, beetroot
fibrous roots
= svazčité kořeny
=numerous small roots
- grow near surface
- function: absorption, anchoring
- e.g. grasses
adventitious roots
= roots from stem
= adventativní kořeny
- grow down to soil from stem, above ground
- function: support, absorption
-e.g. Banyan tree
Aerial roots
= vzdušné kořeny
- grow without soil, in air
- function: absorb water from moist air
- e.g. orchids, banyan, vines
Types of stem
herbaceous and woody
herbaceous stem
lack tough structural(=woody) parts
