**What are the functions of each part of a plant? ** Here are the key functions of each part of a plant. đ¤ **Roots** âī¸ Absorbing water and minerals from the soil âī¸ Storing food for future use âī¸ Producing plant growth hormones âī¸ Anchoring the plant firmly to the soil and providing support âī¸ Developing new plants from the roots of the old plant (vegetative reproduction) đĸ **Stems** âī¸ Providing strength and support to buds, flowers, leaves, and fruits âī¸ Storing food mainly in the form of starch âī¸ Transporting food, water, and minerals to all parts of the plant body âī¸ Developing new plants from the stem of the old plant (vegetative reproduction) đ **Leaves** â Making food for the plant with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water through [photosynthesis](https://t.me/askmenow/3545) â Helping in reproduction such as in Bryophyllum, a group of sprout leaf plants â Helping in evaporation from the aerial parts of the plant by transpiration __Apart from these main functions, leaves of some plants are modified to form tendrils, that help in climbing (e.g., pea plant) or spines, helping in protection (e.g., cactus). Some leaves may turn fleshy to store food (e.g., onion plant).__ đē **Flowers** đē Helping in the sexual reproduction of plants đē Stimulating [pollination](https://t.me/askmenow/3692) in plants and fertilization of the ovule __âšī¸đ¸ A flower contains 4ī¸âŖ main parts: a) **Sepals**: Green parts of a flower found below the petals that protect flower buds from injury. b) **Petals**: Colorful parts of a flower found above the sepals that help in pollination. c) **Stamens**: Consists of an anther and a filament. They are the male reproductive part of a plant producing male sex cells or spermatia. d) **Carpel**: Consists of stigma, style, and ovary. They are the female reproductive part of a plant producing female sex cells or ovules.__ đĨđđĨĻ **Fruits** đ¸ Protecting the growing seeds đ¸ Helping in the dispersal of seeds and thus in plant reproduction âī¸ Thus although each part of a plant has its specific functions, they all work in combination to provide distinct advantages in plant growth and survival.
