There are generally two types Fibrous- thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem Tap- enlarged, somewhat straight to tapering plant root that grows vertically downward Regardless of which types, roots anchor the plant and take in water and nutrients
4
The stem supports other plants such as the leaves, flowers, and fruit Two basic types of aboveground stems are woody and herbaceous
5
The leaf manufactured for for the plant by using light energy Leaves are useful for identification of plants. The leaf edge (margin), shape, and arrangement are all important in plant identification
6
The primary function of flowers is the production of seed A perfect flower contains all male and female parts Seed develops in the female part of the flower (pistil) The pistil then enlarges and becomes the fruit

The male part is the stamen and consists of the: Filament that supports the anther Anther that manufactures pollen Pollen that is the male sexual reproductive cell

The female part is the pistil and consists of the Stigma that receives the pollen Style that is the connection to the ovary Ovary that contains the ovules (female reproductive cells)
9
Petals are the colored part of the flower that attract insects or other natural pollinators All the flower petals together are called the corolla Sepals function as a protection for the developing flower The sepals are collectively called the calyx
