Step 1
1 of 3

The stem of plants and trunk of leaves is the same structure. It supports the plant, its branches and subsequently its leaves, flowers and fruit. It also provides a pathway connecting all parts of the plant so that water from the roots and nutrients from the leaves is supplied to all parts of the plant. It can store excess nutrients as food. Its outer covering protects the plant from the external environment and disease.
