The Stem 

  • Stem is a major organ of the shoot system of plant body.
  • It arises through the elongation of plumule of the embryo.
  • Stem is negatively geotropic, negatively hydrotropic and positively phototropic.
  • Stem differs from root because it shows a clear demarcation of nodes and internodes.
  • Nodes are the regions of the stem where leaves are borne.
  • Internode is the region between two nodes.
  • Stem bears vegetative buds that are responsible for the growth of the plant.
  • The apical bud adds to the height of the plant while the axillary bud allows the growth of lateral branches.
  • Stem also bears floral buds.
  • Young stem is generally green due to the presence of chlorophyll. Hence, young stem is photosynthetic.
  • Older stem of trees becomes woody and dark brown.
