Plant structure question

Question

quickstudent · Answer

Examine the photograph of a prepared slide of the root cross section. Notice that the section is circular in outline since it was cut across the root.  The vascular tissue of the root is concentrated in a single vascular bundle or stele in the center of the root. 


How does this compare to the number of vascular bundles in the stem?

hugsnotughs · Answer

There are more vascular bundles in the stem because the stem has more transportation to do. The roots are only moving water and nutrients to the stem, but the stem has to move the stuff to many different leaves and back down the root. With so much responsibility, it makes since that there are more vascular bundles in the stem to help things move swifter.
