What is the function of a stem in a plant?
Share
A plant’s stem provides support for leaves, flowers, and fruits, ensuring they reach sunlight. It contains tubes (xylem and phloem) that transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant, aiding growth and food distribution. Some stems store water and nutrients. In some plants, stems also help create new plants. Stems are vital for a plant’s structure, growth, and reproduction.
Functions of stem in a plant:
• It holds the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits.
• The stem transports water and minerals from roots to the upper parts.
• It also transports the prepared food from leaves to other parts.
