Tree
Shrub
Soft stemmed plants with less/no wood
Herb
Climbing or twining plants, with stems which may be tender or tough

9 root types
Taproot
Fibrous root
Storage root
Aerial root
Contractile root
Haustoria
Prop root
Pneumatophores
Buttress root
Prominent, large, upright and straight root that develops vertically downward
Taproot
Formed by thin, moderately branching roots emerging from the stem
Fibrous root
Modified lateral root, enlarged
Storage root
Arises from other parts of plant body and not the main root below the stem
Aerial
Swell or contract to push or pull the modified stems to the correct depth in the soil
Contractile root
Rootlike structure that grows into or around another sturcture to absorb water and nutrients
Haustoria
Developed from the branches of tree, hang downward reach the ground, and penetrate into the ground to support the tree
Prop root
Roots that gro verticallyy upwards to get oxygen for respiration by plants growing in swampy areas
Pneumatophores
Aka plank roots, large wide roots on all sides of a shallowly rooted tree

10 types of stem / shoot
Bulb
Corm
Caudex
Rhizome
Tuber
Stolon/Runner
Cladode
Succulent
Protective
Reproductive
Short underground stwm with fleshy leaf based called scale
Bulb
Vertucal, fleshy, underground stem that acts as a food storage structure in certain seed plants
Corm
Thickenef, usually underground base of the stem of many perennial herbaceous plants, from which new leaves and flowering leaves arises
Caudex
Situated eaither soil surface or underground that contains nodes from which roots and shoots originate
Rhizome
Specialized underground, usually short and thicker, becomes enlargef at the growing tips by the accumulatiom of stored food
Tuber
Slender horizontally stem that grows above the soil level. It has a creeping stem with long internodes
Stolon/runner
Flattened stem or internode that resembles and fucntion as a leaf
Cladode
Fleshy, columnar shaoed plants which conducts photosynthesis mainly through their stem rather than leaves
Succulent stem
Consist primarily of epidermis
Protective stem
Contains a stamen, pistil plus accesory parts such as petals, sepal and nectar glands
Reproductive stem
