The document discusses various types of root and shoot systems in plants. It describes the main functions of roots as absorbing water and minerals from soil. There are two main types of root systems - taproot system and adventitious root system. The taproot system develops from the radicle while adventitious roots develop from other parts of the plant. The document also discusses various modifications of roots for storage and support. It then describes the shoot system as the aerial part that develops from the plumule, including stems, leaves and reproductive structures. It outlines different types of stem modifications underground like rhizomes, corms, tubers and bulbs that store food.
Potato is a herbaceous perennial plant in the family Solanaceae which is grown for its edible tubers. the leaves can reach 10–30 cm (4–12 in) in length and 5–15 cm (2–6 in) wide. The potato plant produces white or blue flowers and yellow-green berries. It is grown as annual plants, surviving only one growing season. It grows best in cooler climates. Potatoes require a deep, fertile, loose, well-draining soil with a pH between 5.8 and 6.5 and will grow optimally at daytime temperatures between 18 and 27°C (65–80°F) and night time temperatures between 12 and 18°C (55–65°F). Potatoes are usually grown from seed potatoes. Each piece of planting material should have at least two eyes. Seed potatoes and pieces can be planted 0–2 weeks after the last frost. All tubers should be harvested when the vines have died. Harvest the tubers by gently digging them up with a fork. Do not wash the tubers prior to storing. Potatoes can also be processed into starch, alcohol or flour.

This presentation is based on the anatomy of fruit, types of fruit, their description and the reproductive part of fruit which is seed, and the anatomy of seed and the types of germination.

Stems of many plants are modified to perform different functions such as storage, protection, photosynthesis, support, propagation and perennation. Modifications help in better adaptation and survival.
Stems develop from the plumule of the germinating seed. It bears leaves, fruits, flowers, etc. The characteristic feature of a stem is nodes and internodes. The main function of the stem is to support other parts of the plant and conduction of food, water and minerals.
In some plants, stems are modified, which can be aerial, subaerial or underground modifications. They are modified to perform other functions, which are not normally associated with the stem.
The lecture notes provide an understanding of the different types of roots and their morphology. different types of roots have been clearly explained with their pictures and labeled diagrams included, enjoy the reading

Plant Stems Aid In Growth : The stem of a plant serves as a structural axis, supporting the plant’s leaves, flowers, and fruits. They also frequently play distinct roles in photosynthesis, support, defence, and asexual reproduction.
Stems are part of the shoot system of a plant. Depending on the type of plant, they can range in diameter and length from a few millimetres to hundreds of metres. Despite the fact that some plants, such as the potato, have underground stems, most stems are found above ground. Stems can be herbaceous or woody. Stems’ primary function is to hold the plant’s leaves, flowers, and buds; on occasion, they also serve as food storage for the plant. A stem can be sparsely or densely branched, as in the case of a palm or a magnolia tree.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Root is a significant part of a plant.
It is usually an underground part of a plant which fix the
plant on the soil.
Its main function is to absorb water and food material from
soil.

Plants have different root structures for specific purposes.
There are many different types of specialized roots, but two of the more familiar
types of roots include aerial roots and storage roots.
Aerial roots grow above the ground, typically providing structural support.
Storage roots (for example, taproots and tuberous roots) are modified for food
storage.

29. New shoots usually develop from the terminal and
axillary buds of the plant. If they develop from the
root system they are called adventitious shoots.
They are stems that grow and develop
underground. They are also known as organs of
perennation, because they store food and give rise
to new plants.

Climbers
• Climbers are weak stemmed plants that
derive support from climbing up trees and
other tall objects.
