Drawing of a plant with labels of internal and external parts and what they do?

1 answer

I can't create drawings directly, but I can describe a labeled diagram of a plant for you, along with the functions of its internal and external parts. You can use this description to create your own drawing.

External Parts of a Plant:

  1. Roots

    • Function: Absorb water and nutrients from the soil; anchor the plant.
  2. Stem (Trunk)

    • Function: Support the plant, transport water and nutrients between the roots and leaves.
  3. Leaves

    • Function: Conduct photosynthesis, exchange gases (take in CO2 and release O2), and regulate water loss.
  4. Flowers

    • Function: Reproductive structures that produce seeds; attract pollinators.
  5. Fruits

    • Function: Protect seeds and help in their dispersal.

Internal Parts of a Plant:

  1. Xylem

    • Function: Transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
  2. Phloem

    • Function: Distributes sugars produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
  3. Cambium

    • Function: A layer of growing tissue between the xylem and phloem that helps the plant grow in thickness.
  4. Pith

    • Function: Storage of nutrients and helps transport materials within the stem.
  5. Chloroplasts (in leaves)

    • Function: Contain chlorophyll; the site of photosynthesis where sunlight is converted to energy.

Drawing Tips:

  • Use a simple diagram with a labeled outline of a plant.
  • Label each part clearly.
  • Include arrows or lines pointing to each part with its corresponding name and a brief description of its function.

With this guidance, you should be able to create a comprehensive plant diagram!
