PLANT

• Top Root


  Grows vertically downward, mostly found in dicots and for storage.
• Fibrous Root


  Grows horizontally are usually seen in monocots and for anchorage.
• Dicot


  it is a netted arrangement of veins
• Monocot


  a parallel arrangement of veins
• Prop Root


  develop from the STEM or even from the leaves, such as in pandan or corn, growing into the ground to help underground root support the stem.
• Lateral roots of mangrove trees growing in swamps produce pneumatophores (UPRIGHT conical GROWTHS) that aerate the submerged roots.
• Lenticel

  pore in stem where gas exchange occur.
• Leaf Sheath

  protection for stem
• Modified Stem

  • Rhizome
  • Tubers
  • Corns
  • Spines/Thorns
  • Photosynthetic stem
  • Chladophyll
  • Stolon/Runner
• Cladophyll

  it increases surface area for light absorption
