Basic functions of roots,
stems and leaves:
Roots
Roots:
• Find and absorb water
• Find and absorb nutrients
• Host symbionts
• Anchorage and support
• Attachment
• Photosynthesis
• Storage
• Breathing or ventilation (mangroves)
• Reproduction
Absorbing water and nutrients
Roots of
pea plant
Nodules
Host symbionts
Anchorage and support
Attachment
Photosynthesis!
Storage
pneumatophores
Asexual reproduction
Stems
Transport and support.
Cactus stems store water, photosynthesize.
Stolons produce new individuals at nodes above ground.
Rhizomes produce new individuals at nodes below ground.
Tubers store carbohydrates.
Thorns provide protection.
Leaves
Intercept light
Fix CO2
Storage
• Food
• Water
Support
Protection (spines)
Collect nutrients
• Animals
• Leaves and compost
Reproduction
• Asexual
• Sexual (pollination)
Shoot system
Sunlight
CO2
Root system
Transport of water, sugar, and
nutrients through vascular tissue

Heartwood and sapwood have different functions.
Heartwood
provides structural
support but no
longer transports
water
Sapwood
transports water
Bark
Growth rings result from variation in cell size.
