8. PARTS OF PLANT

9. TWO MAIN SECTIONS
a) &SHOOT&SYSTEM&
b) &ROOT&SYSTEM&

10. a) SHOOT&SYSTEM&

1)&Stem-&Backbone&of&the&plant&
-It&has&two&sec>ons,&nodes&and&internodes&
-It&gives&support&to&plant,&&
leaves&and&(branches),&&
flowers&and&fruits&too&

18. Structure&of&Flower&

19. Pollination and Fertilisation
- Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the
anther to the stigma of the same or different
flower

- Fertilization occurs once the pollen grain
reaches the stigma, it produces a pollen tube,
which grows down through the style to the ovary&

20. b)&ROOT&SYSTEM

Root&
-&Root&gives&support&to&plant&by&holding&firmly&
to&the&soil&
-&Absorbs&&the&water&and&minerals.&
