  3. Roots 2 Types of Root Systems: • Tap root • Fibrous System

  4. Root Functions Roots have 4 primary functions • Absorption of water and nutrients • performed by root hairs. • Transportation of water and nutrients to stem. • Anchor plant to maintain stability. • Store food and water.

  5. Important Functions of Leaves • Photosynthesis • Process that plants use to produce their food. Carbon dioxide + water + sunlight + Chlorophyll = Oxygen + sugar • Transpiration • Loss of water and exchange of carbon dioxide.

  6. Leaf Parts

  7. Functions of the Stem • Transport water and nutrients from roots to leaves • Supports leaves, fruit, and flowers • Food storage

  8. Flower Function • Flowers are pollinated by: • Wind • Insects • Birds
