 I. INTRODUCTION

Plant organs are covered with specialized

tissues, which serve to protect the plant from insects
and pathogen attack, physical injury and excessive
water loss. Plant organs include the leaf, stem, roots
and reproductive structures. The first three are
sometimes called the vegetative organs and are the
subject of exploration in this chapter.
Plant grows using a combination of cell division
in their apical meristems, and cell expansion in their
subapical regions. Cells that are laid down by the
division of initials in the apical meristems undergo an
expansion process before full differentiation. Cell
expansion is highly controlled process, and is the
primary target for environmental signals that guide
organ growth. Thus, when a plant organs is reoriented
within the gravity field, it responds with differential
cellular elongation (

II. DISCUSSIONS

A. TOPIC

Organs- tissues that act together to serve a specific

function.

Three Major Plant Organs:

• Leaf

• Stem

• Root

Flowers and Fruits- Evolved from stems and leaves.

Plant organ Function/s

LEAVES ---Food making/

Photosynthesis

STEMS --- Support

-Transport

ROOTS -- -Anchorage

-Absorption

- -Storage

- -Conduction

ROOTS

“The hidden half”

Functions of roots:

-Anchorage

-Absorption of water and dissolved minerals.

-Storage (surplus sugars,starch)

-Conduction water/nutrients

STRUCTURE OF ROOTS

ROOT CROPS
-Found at the far tip of the root, protect the roots as
it continues to grow underground.

ROOTH HAIR
-Are small thread-like structures that help the roots
absorbs water and minerals from the soil.

-Roots can grow to large sizes because on their

vascular tissue.

TWO MAIN TYPES OF VASCULAR TISSUE

 XYLEM

- moves water and nutrients from the ground

upward in the plants.

PHLOEM

- carries food made in the plant’s leaves down to

other parts of the plant.

STEMS

-Above ground organs (usually)

Function of Stems:

-Support leaves and fruits

-Conduct water and sugars throughout the plant.

LEAVES

The most prominent plant organ

Function of Leaves:

- Carry out photosynthesis in order to make glucose

- Composed of epidermal, vascular and ground

tissue.

- STRUCTURE OF STEM

- -NODES
-INTERNODES
-BUDS

- LEAVES

- The most prominent plant organ

- Function of Leaves:

- Carry out photosynthesis in order to make glucose

- Composed of epidermal, vascular and ground

tissue.

STRUCTURE OF LEAVES
 BLADES- Flat expanded area.
PETIOLE- Stalk that connects leaf blade to stem
and transport materials.

PAIR OF STIPULES

LEAF EPIDERMIS

 Is transparent so that the sun light can go through.

 Waxy cuticle protects against drying out.

 Lower Epidermis: Stomata with Guard cells for gas

exchange (CO2, H2O In; O2 Out)

FLOWERS

-Is the reproductive organ of angiosperms.

- Flowering plants reproduce by Pollination.

FRUITS

-It is a ripened ovary that contains angiosperms

seeds.

-The function of a fruit is to hold and protect the

seeds.

III. CONCLUSION
I conclude to this report is that Plant is like a human and
animals. Whose bodies are composed of organs, tissues,
and cells with highly specialized function. They also grow,
breathe, need water, and reproduce one another. And has
a big impact in environment.
