2. Why is not any one parameter good enough to demonstrate growth through the life of a flowering plant?

Answers (1)

In plants, growth is said to have taken place when the amount of protoplasm increases. Measuring the growth of protoplasm involves many parameters such as the weight of the fresh tissue sample, the weight of the dry tissue sample, the differences in length, area, volume, and cell number measured during the growth period. Measuring the growth of plants using only one parameter does not provide enough information and hence, is insufficient for demonstrating growth. We use single parameter to demonstrate growth only when all organs of the organism show a similar type of growth
