Flowering Plants
The plant body consists of a main axis, which may be branched or unbranched
lateral appendages. The main axis is divided into two parts
(i) Root System The underground root system develops from the radicle of
embryo and helps in fixation of the plant as well as absorption of water
and minerals.
(ii) Shoot System The aerial shoot system develops from the plumule of
embryo.
It contains root, stem, leaves as vegetative parts and flowers, fruits and seeds as
reproductive parts.
The vegetative parts are involved in various vegetative
functions like structural organisation, fixation, absorption,
nourishment, growth and maintenance of various
components and reproductive parts are for sexual
reproduction and germination of seeds make new plants.
