: Plants with specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for water and nutrient transport.
: Facilitated by lateral meristems, this increases the thickness (girth) of stems and roots, particularly in woody plants. Plant Biology
: The "anchor" of the plant, roots absorb water and essential nutrients from the soil. : Plants with specialized tissues (xylem and phloem)
: Often called the "kitchen" of the plant, they are the primary site for photosynthesis and gas exchange through microscopic openings called stomata . 2. Key Biological Processes Plant Biology
To survive and grow, plants undergo several complex processes:
: Vascular plants that reproduce via spores (e.g., ferns). Gymnosperms : "Naked seed" plants like conifers.
