Parts of plant?
Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower
In monocotyledonous plants, the primary root is short lived and is replaced by a large number of roots. What type of root system?
fibrous root system
In majority of the dicotyledonous plants, the direct elongation of the radicle leads to the formation of primary root which grows inside the soil. What type of root system?

watermelon) and grapevines. Develop from axillary buds.
Stem tendrils
a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk. The main organs of photosynthesis and transpiration.
Leaf
help hold the blade to light.
Petiole
The arrangement of veins and the veinlets in the lamina of leaf is termed as?
Leaf Venation
Plants absorb mineral nutrients and water from the soil. What process is this?
Transpiration
Plants carry out photosynthesis only
during when? and respiration?

is the reproductive unit in the angiosperms. It is meant for sexual reproduction.
