Plant Parts

Carla Liliana Guzmn Carrasco

Identify the function of specific plant parts.

Vascular Plants
Vascular Plants contain two
networks of tubes in their
stems, leaves, and roots.
One of these networks
transports water, and the
other transports food made
in the leaves to the other
parts.

Parts of a Vascular Plant
Roots
Stem
Leaves
Ovule
Stigma
Ovary
Petal
Anther

Roots
Water and nutrients from the soil
enter the plant through the roots.
Water tubes in the roots carry
water to water tubes in the
stems.

Stems
Water tubes in the stem
then carry water to water
tubes in the leaves.

Some of the water then
evaporates into the air
through a process called
transpiration.

Leaves
Food tubes carry food made in the
leaves to food tubes in the stem and
roots.

Some food tubes run all the way from
the leaves down to the roots.

Ovule
This part contains the egg
cell.

Stigma
Tip of pistil which catches
the pollen grains
Anther
This part of the
stamen contains
pollen.

Petal
Colorful leaf that helps
attract insects

What is pollen?
The fine powder like material
consisting of pollen grains
that is produced by the
anthers of seed plants.





After you strip away
the blossom of the
male flower, the pollen
is readily visible.

What does a plant
need to survive?
Soil
Light
Water


Plants may have adaptations in order to
obtain these basic needs, much like the
Venus Fly Trap.

Stages in Reproduction
An insect or the wind carries pollen
grains from another flower to this
one.
The pollen grains land on the
stigma and a pollen tube grows
down through the style to the ovary.
The nucleus of the pollen grain
passes down the tube. It fertilizes
the egg cell inside the ovule.
The fertilized egg cell develops into
an embryo. The ovary becomes the
fruit and the ovule becomes the
seed.
