Question
Chapter 35.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: How “vascular tissue system enables leaves and roots to function together in supporting growth and development of the whole plant”.
Concept introduction:
All vascular plants possess three primary organs, namely roots, leaves and stem. The stems and leaves form the shoot system. On the other hand, root system comprises of roots. The root and shoot system manifest the terrestrial adaptations that helped plants to survive on land. The root system helped plant to draw water and minerals from the ground. On the other hand, the shoot system helps plant to take CO2 and light surroundings.
The shoot system prepares food and provides it to the whole plant. The root system provides water and minerals essential for plant growth.
