1

The Root System

  • The root system is the underground part of the plant that develops from the radicle of the embryo.
  • Three main types of root systems: Tap root system, Fibrous root system, and Adventitious roots.
  • Tap root system: Primary root (elongation of radicle) with secondary and tertiary branches — found in dicotyledons (e.g., Mustard).
2

The Stem

  • Stem is the ascending axis of the plant that develops from the plumule of the embryo.
  • Key features of stem: bears nodes and internodes, has terminal and axillary buds, is positively phototropic.
  • Node: The region on stem where leaves are borne.
3

The Leaf

  • Leaf is a lateral, generally flattened structure borne on the stem at the node; develops from shoot apical meristem.
  • Primary function: Photosynthesis; also performs transpiration, gaseous exchange.
  • Three main parts of a typical leaf: Leaf base, Petiole, and Lamina (leaf blade).
4

The Inflorescence

  • A flower is a modified shoot — the shoot apical meristem converts to a floral meristem.
  • Inflorescence: The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis (peduncle).
  • Two major types of inflorescence: Racemose and Cymose.
