Reproductive shoot (flower) Terminal bud Node Internode Terminal bud Vegetable shoot Leaf Shoot system Blade Petiole Axillary bud Stem Taproot Lateral roots Root system Roots Functions of roots: Anchoring the plant Absorbing minerals and water Often storing organic nutrients Root Hairs Prop roots. Storage roots. “Strangling” aerial roots. Buttress roots. Pneumatophores. Stems Stem Nodes points at which leaves are attached Internodes stem segments between nodes axillary bud has the potential to form a lateral shoot, or branch terminal bud located near the shoot tip causes elongation of a young shoot Stolons. Storage leaves Stem Roots Bulbs. Tubers. Rhizomes. Node Rhizome Root Leaves Leaf main photosynthetic organ consist of A flattened blade and a stalk petiole Monocots parallel veins Eudicots branching veins Simple leaf Petiole Axillary bud Leaflet Compound leaf Petiole Axillary bud Doubly compound leaf Leaflet Petiole Axillary bud Tendrils. Spines. Storage leaves. Bracts. Reproductive leaves.

Vascular bundles form a ring. Ground tissue toward the inside is called pith, and ground tissue toward the outside is called cortex. (LM of transverse section) Vascular 1 mm A monocot (maize) stem. Vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue. In such an arrangement, ground tissue is not partitioned into pith and cortex.
