Roots Stem Infloresence

Allow plants to make their food by converting light energy from the sun into chemical energy.

Essential for growth and maintenance of all plant tissues

For plants to grow optimally, adequate nutrients and water uptake are necessary to maintain plant growth and development

Communicating between organs, through the movement of plant hormones and other signaling molecules.

Enables plants to adapt to seasonal changes in their environment

Helps the plant get the most sunlight for making food in its leaves and helps the roots take in water and nutrients from the soil.

Uses the parts of plants known as organs of perennation

The process during which the embryo develops into a seedling
