HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Stem. A plant’s stem transports water through the plant. It also raises the height of the plant’s flowers and leaves and brings them closer to the Sun.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary functions of the stem are to support the leaves; to conduct water and minerals to the leaves, where they can be converted into usable products by photosynthesis; and to transport these products from the leaves to other parts of the plant, including the roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement. Water potential, evapotranspiration, and stomatal regulation influence how water and nutrients are transported in plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phloem tissue helps in transfer of food to different parts of plant and Xylem tissue helps in transfer of water and minerals to different parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -The stem transports water and nutrients up from the roots all the way to the leaves, and the stem transports sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Stems support leaves, flowers, and fruits. Stems are the main transportation routes of water from the roots to the leaves.
