ROOTS:
•hold the plant in the ground (anchor)
•Stop erosion
•Take in water & minerals for the plant
•Parts of a root:
Root cap: thin covering, protects root tip
Root hairs: threadlike parts of cells on surface of root
Phloem: path that food from leaves take down the plant to roots
Xylem: path that water & minerals take up the plant
Cortex: stores food in roots & stems

(Special roots & stems)

Carrots and BeetrootCarrots and beetroot are thickened tap roots which have very few lateral roots. Both are biennials i.e. they only grow for two years. In the first year they store food manufactured by their leaves in their tap root, and in the second year they use the stored food to produce flowers (called bolting). We harvest the carrots or beetroots before they bolt.

GingerGinger is a rhizome - a type of stem which grows horizontally just under the surface of the ground. Leaves grow from buds at the nodes on the stem. The stem is thick and fleshy and stores reserve food for the plant.
![Page 15: Plants2plantpartsrootsstems 120301084346-phpapp02](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5568f23dd8b42aff2e8b488d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PotatoesThis is likely to trick many people. Potatoes are not roots but underground storage stems which are formed when the growth point of an underground stem, a rhizome, almost stops lengthening and increases greatly in thickness. This forms an underground storage organ which stores large quantities of starch.

Sweet PotatoesSweet potatoes are the greatly thickened roots of the fibrous root system of the sweet potato plant which contain reserves of starch.
![Page 17: Plants2plantpartsrootsstems 120301084346-phpapp02](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5568f23dd8b42aff2e8b488d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Onions and GarlicOnions and garlic are bulbs. A bulb is an underground storage organ which consists of a very short stem on which fleshy bases of the leaves store food for the plant.

Activity•Stem Hunt Lab
•Stem Rubbing
•Flower Chains
•Celery Dying
•Tropism experiments

•Woody stems & soft stems
•Carry water & minerals up and food down
•Hold the plant up (leaves & flowers)
•A tree’s stem is called a trunk
•Some grow underground (potato)
![Page 21: Plants2plantpartsrootsstems 120301084346-phpapp02](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5568f23dd8b42aff2e8b488d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TROPISMS: movement of a plant
Positive tropism (moving toward the stimulus)
Negative tropism (moving away from the stimulus)
•Geotropism: all above ground plant parts grow away from gravity (up)
•Phototropism- all stems bend towards the sunlight-
•thigmotropism: response to physical contact- Vines: special kind of ‘climbing’ stem
•Some grow along the ground (runners) like strawberries ADVANCEVIDEO Creeper vines climb

PLANT LABS:1. Leaves: Identify & graph your collection into journal; view & draw fern spores;
Answer questions in Plant Journal.
2. Flowers: identify & draw 5 local spring flowers on white paper. Glue into journal.Roots: identify fibrous & taproots; draw 7 label root parts in journal; Answer questions in Plant Journal.
3. Seeds: seed dissection: label 3 parts of the seed into journal; observe pine nuts in pinecones-- sketch into journal; Answer questions in Plant Journal.
4. Stems: Compare three different types of bark. Notice the color & texture. How do the grains run? Is there a pattern? Create a bark rubbing with a dark crayon (rubbed sideways). Sketch the three specimens.
