1. Roots: The roots of a plant anchor it to the ground and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
2. Stem: The stem of a plant provides support and transportation of water, nutrients, and sugars between the roots and other parts of the plant.
3. Leaves: Leaves are the main site for photosynthesis, where sunlight is converted into chemical energy in the form of sugars. They also help in transpiration (the loss of water) and exchange of gases with the environment.
4. Flowers: Flowers are reproductive structures of plants that produce seeds. They attract pollinators with their colorful petals and produce pollen or ovules for fertilization.
5. Fruits: Fruits are the mature ovaries of flowering plants. They develop after successful fertilization and contain seeds for reproduction. Fruits often serve as a means of dispersing seeds.
6. Seeds: Seeds are the reproductive units of plants, containing an embryo and stored nutrients. They have a protective coat and can remain dormant until conditions are favorable for germination.
7. Stomata: Stomata are tiny openings on the surface of leaves and stems that regulate the exchange of gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the plant and the environment.
8. Xylem: Xylem is a type of plant tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. It provides support to the plant and helps in maintaining its rigidity.
9. Phloem: Phloem is another type of plant tissue that transports sugars (generated during photosynthesis) from the leaves to other parts of the plant. It also transports other organic molecules, hormones, and amino acids.
