Summary Introduction

To review:

The function of stem and stem structure and the basic steps in the primary growth of stems.

Introduction:

The stem is the plant part, which is above the ground and is divided into two parts, namely, nodes and internodes. The nodes bear the leaves and buds. The cells of buds divide mitotically to form branches. The internode holds the cells, which help in elongation of the stem.
