What is the difference between a plant's stem and its roots?

• The stem supports the plant and absorbs water, while roots transport nutrients.

• The stem anchors the plant and transports water, while roots support the plant.

• The stem and roots perform the same functions in a plant.

What is the role of the stem in a water lily?

• It anchors the plant to the bottom of the water.

• It allows the leaves to reach the top of the water so the plant can get sunlight.

• It helps in the reproduction of the plant.

What is the role of sensory organs?

• To produce hormones that regulate body functions.

• To detect signals from the environment and send information to the brain.

• To provide structural support to the body.

• To store energy in the form of fat.

What is the function of roots in plants?

• Roots anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
