Detailed explanation-1: -Stems also connect the other organs of the plant. Both the leaves and roots are connected to the stem! 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Collenchyma cells are elongated cells with unevenly-thickened walls. They provide structural support, mainly to the stem and leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stems are a part of the shoot system of a plant. Their main function is to provide support to the plant, holding leaves, flowers and buds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stems are usually above ground, although the stems of some plants, such as the potato, also grow underground. Stems may be herbaceous (soft) or woody in nature. Their main function is to provide support to the plant, holding leaves, flowers, and buds; in some cases, stems also store food for the plant.
