Plant Structure, Classification, Growth and Development

A practical botanist will distinguish at the first glance the plant of the different quarter of
the globe and yet will be at loss to tell what marks he detects them.
- Carolus Linnaeus

Exercise 4.1: Given the local name of plants, use data retrieval chart for the English and
Scientific names.

Exercise 4.3: Using the table chart, fill in the table with the description and function of the
parts of the plants.
Parts of a Plant Description
1. Leaves The term leaf refers to the organ that
forms the main lateral appendage on the
stem of vascular plants. In general,
leaves are thin, flat organs responsible
for the photosynthesis of the plant.
2. Stem Stem, in botany, the plant axis that
bears buds and shoots with leaves and,
at its basal end, roots. The stem
conducts water, minerals, and food to
other parts of the plant; it may also
store food, and green stems themselves
produce food.
3. Roots Cultural definitions for root (1 of 2)
In biology, the part of a plant that
grows downward and holds the plant in
place, absorbs water and minerals from
the soil, and often stores food. The
main root of a plant is called the
primary root; others are called
secondary roots.
4. Flowers Flowers are also called the bloom or
blossom of a plant. Flowers have petals.
Inside the part of the flower that has
petals are the parts which produce
pollen and seeds. ... Flowers may grow
separately on the plant, or they may
grow together in an inflorescence.
Function
All leaves have the same basic structure
- a midrib, an edge, veins and a petiole.
The main function of a leaf is to carry
out photosynthesis, which provides the
plant with the food it needs to survive.
Plants provide food for all life on the
planet.
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. A stem
may be unbranched, like that of a palm
tree, or it may be highly branched, like
that of a magnolia tree.
Roots absorb water and minerals and
transport them to stems. They also
anchor and support a plant, and store
food.
The primary purpose of a flower is
reproduction. Since the flowers are the
reproductive organs of plant, they
mediate the joining of the sperm,
contained within pollen, to the ovules
— contained in the ovary. Pollination is
the movement of pollen from the
anthers to the stigma.
