  2. Aerial root | Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_root

    Aerial roots are roots growing above the ground. They are often adventitious, i.e. formed from nonroot tissue. They are found in diverse plant species, including epiphytes such as orchids (Orchidaceae), tropical coastal swamp trees such as mangroves, banyan figs (Ficus subg. Urostigma), the warm-temperate rainforest rata (Metrosideros robusta ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_plant_morphology

    Rosette – cluster of leaves with very short internodes that are crowded together, normally on the surface of the soil but sometimes higher on the stem. Rostellate – like a rosette (cf. rostellum). Rosulate – arranged into a rosette. Runner – an elongated, slender branch that roots at the nodes or tip.

  4. Root | Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root

    The cross-section of a barley root. Root morphology is divided into four zones: the root cap, the apical meristem, the elongation zone, and the hair. [ 4 ] The root cap of new roots helps the root penetrate the soil. These root caps are sloughed off as the root goes deeper creating a slimy surface that provides lubrication.

  5. Plant reproduction | Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    Plant reproduction is the production of new offspring in plants, which can be accomplished by sexual or asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from either parent. Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, resulting in ...

  6. Vegetative reproduction | Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction

    Vegetative reproduction. Production of new individuals along a leaf margin of the air plant, Kalanchoe pinnata. The small plant in front is about 1 cm tall. The concept of "individual" is stretched by this process. Kalanchoe daigremontiana produces plantlets along the margins of its leaves. When they are mature enough, they drop off and root in ...

  7. Phytoextraction process | Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoextraction_process

    The plant roots must absorb the heavy metal. The plant must chelate the metal to both protect itself and make the metal more mobile (this can also happen before the metal is absorbed). Chelation is a process by which a metal is surrounded and chemically bonded to an organic compound. The plant moves the chelated metal to a place to safely store ...

  8. Plant development | Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    Important structures in plant development are buds, shoots, roots, leaves, and flowers; plants produce these tissues and structures throughout their life from meristems [1] located at the tips of organs, or between mature tissues. Thus, a living plant always has embryonic tissues. By contrast, an animal embryo will very early produce all of the ...

  9. Plant stem | Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    Plant stem. This above-ground stem of Polygonum has lost its leaves, but is producing adventitious roots from the nodes. A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. It supports leaves, flowers and fruits, transports water and dissolved substances between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and ...
