30.3: Stems - Stem Anatomy - Biology LibreTexts
2024年11月23日 · The stem has three simple cell types: the parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells that are responsible for metabolic functions, repairing and healing wounds, and storing starch. The stem is composed of three tissue systems that include the epidermis, vascular, and ground tissues, all of which are made from the simple cell types..

Parts of a Stem With Their Structures and Functions - Science Facts
2023年2月2日 · A typical plant stem consists of eight distinct parts, containing six elements and two organs. The six elements are: 1) nodes, 2) internodes, 3) terminal or apical bud, 4) lateral or axillary bud, 5) petiole and 6) pedicel. While the two organs are: 7) leaves and 8) flowers.
Anatomy of Root, Stem and Leaf - BYJU'S
Anatomy of Stem. Stems are the parts of vascular plants that hold plants upright so they may receive the necessary sunshine and air. The stems can also produce cones, flowers, leaves, and secondary stalks. Node points are where secondary stems grow. A meristem tissue bud at each node can divide and specialise in developing a specific structure.

2024年11月8日 · Stem, in botany, the plant axis that bears buds and shoots with leaves and, at its basal end, roots. The stem conducts water, minerals, and food to other parts of the plant and may also store food or be photosynthetic itself. Learn more …
Stems in Plants: Function, Types and Anatomy - Biology …
The stem is the ascending part of the plant formed by the elongation of the plumule of the embryo. It bears leaves, branches and flowers. It is generally erect, strong and usually grows away from the soil (negatively geotropic). There are several plants in which the stem is weak and it either trails on the ground or twines around a support.
3.1 Stems – Plant Anatomy and Physiology
Stems are produced by the primary apical meristem in but may be increased in girth in woody plants due to secondary growth. Secondary growth is produced by lateral meristems in the woody stems and roots of woody plants. Secondary xylem and secondary phloem are produced from a cylinder of meristematic tissue within the woody stems and roots.

Stem Anatomy. The stem and other plant organs arise from the ground tissue, and are primarily made up of simple tissues formed from three types of cells: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells. Parenchyma cells are the most common plant cells (). They are found in the stem, the root, the inside of the leaf, and the pulp of the fruit.
Stems are composed of the following: epidermis, cortex and pith, xylem and phloem, and periderm. Secondary xylem is formed by the division of cells in the vascular cambium and is called wood. The bark is composed of all of the tissues outside the vascular cambium, including the periderm (formed from cork cambium) and the secondary phloem.
