Stem funcions structural support for leaves, lowers and fruits allows for maximal absorpion of sunlight reproducive organs are accessible to pollinators and seed dispersers internal transports. Moves water and nutrients from roots to leaves via xylem. Move carbohydrates from leaves to roots via phloem stem has meristemaic issues (regions of acive cell division) forms issues required to increase stem height in woody plants, involved in increasing stem diameter forms leaves, branches and lowers. Stem has meristemaic issue (regions of acive cell division) Secondary growth only occurs in woody dicot stems. Due to lateral meristems (vascular and cork cambium) and issues they produce. Woody stems require a concentric ring of vascular cambium. Lateral growth of trees is due to vascular cambium. 2 parts of bark: outer bark- periderm, inner bark- secondary phloem. Bark protects against: water loss, mechanical injury, mild ires, temperature extremes, chewing insects. Cork cell walls contain: lignin, suberin, gums latexes.
