Third Chapter Plant Organs Section One Roots  Organ  Ones that are formed by many kinds of tissues, having certain external shape and inside structure and plant body component of carrying out certain physiological function.(review tissue)  vegetative organ (root,stem,leaf)  Organ  reproductive organ(flower,fruit,seed )

 Tissue  The source similar to the function is the same, shape structure and the cell group contacting each other closely is called the tissue.  Vegetative organ : Absorb playing, make and supply the body nutriment function of the plant, making the plant body grow, development with. Including the root, stem, leaf.  Reproductive organ :Play a role in breed the later generation and extend ethnicallying. Including the flower, fruit, seed.

 absorb function  transportation  supportion  Physiological function breeding  preservation  assimilation function  Medicinal value

 Vascular cylinder pericycle  primary xylem  (diarch, triarch,   tetrarch,hexarch,polyarch,etc)  primary phloem  ☆ Definition :  Exarch: The order of differentiation and maturation of primary xylem of root is from the outside to inside, and is known as exarch.
