Question
Chapter 22, Problem 12WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The tissues that the spike encounters as it moves through the stem and the types of meristems that produced each type of tissues that is encountered.
Concept introduction:
The majority of portion of a plant is made up of wood. Wood make up the roots, and stems along with the branches of stems. It is very important for plants as it provides rigidity and strength to the plants to stand. Internally, it helps in the conduction process in the conduction of food, water minerals and other substances.
