MORPHOLOGY OF FLOWE GP 's, , * Morphology is the study of external features, , + Flowering plants are otherwise called as angiosperms. Which means enveloped seeded plants., * They are the plants with fruits and flowers., , * Wolffia is the smallest angiosperm., , + Eucalyptus is the tallest angiosperm., , Functions:, , anchorage- fixes the plants in soil, , absorb water and minerals, , storage in some plants, , respiration, photosynthesis in some plants, , Root system, Root system can be classified in to tap root system, fibrous root system, and adventitious root, , system., 1.Tap root system:-It composed of a primary root and its lateral branches. Primary root is the elongation, of radicle. It is a characteristic feature of dicotyledons., , 2. Fiberous root system:- here the growth of radicle is stopped and from the base of the stem numerous, fiber like roots are arised. It is a characteristic feature of monocotyledons., , 3. adventitious root system:- if a root is arised from any pari of the plant body other than radicle is called, adventitious root. eg.
