Document Summary

A shoot system: helps support leaves and other body parts in air. A root system: anchors the plant in soil and provides access to soil nutrients and water. Tissue for internal transport of water and nutrients and. Plants are photosynthetic self-feeders and require nutrients that are usually available in the soil. They capture these nutrients over large surface areas, above and below ground-(spread out like a tree-dendritic) Life on land has resulted in a body consisting of two linked components: shoot system that extend upward into the air and a non-photosynthetic root system that extends downwards into the soil. (look at picture to the left) 27. 1a cells of all plant tissue share some general features. The root and shoot system consists of many organs: body structures that contain two or more types of tissues and have a definite form and function (leaves stems)
