(N/A) The morphology of angiosperms shows broad diversities.
Flowering plants are primarily classified into two systems based on their location relative to the ground:
$1$. Root System: The underground part of the flowering plant is known as the root system. It typically consists of the primary root and its branches (secondary and tertiary roots).
$2$. Shoot System: The portion of the plant above the ground forms the shoot system. It includes the stem,leaves,flowers,and fruits.
Key components of the shoot system include:
- Stem: The main axis of the plant body.
- Leaves: Lateral,generally flattened structures borne on the stem.
- Flowers: The reproductive structures of the plant.
- Fruits: The ripened ovary that develops after fertilization.
- Nodes and Internodes: The stem bears nodes (where leaves arise) and internodes (the portion between two nodes).
- Buds: Small lateral or terminal growths that develop into branches or flowers.
