Stem
Function for both supportive organs and conductive organ
It is a shoot associated with other plant organs like leaves, flower, fruit
It develops from the epicotyl of the embryo (in the seed)

Review on the parts of the plants:
1. Leaf primordium = an immature leaf of the shoot.
![Page 4: Stems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/555081b5b4c9051e5b8b46d5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. Node = the point of attachment of a leaf to a stem

3. Internode = the region between two adjacent nodes

Modification of the stem would depend on the need of the plant to survive…
… like the animals it learns how to adapt.

Stem modifications for storage and protection
a. rootstock = a general term for an underground stem or shoot that later will give rise to aerial shoot.
= remain alive underground during harsh condition

Different types of RootstockDifferent types of Rootstock
Bulb – consist of small amount of vertical stem and a massive quantity of thick, fleshy storage leaves.
- most of them consist of concentric rings of scales attached to a basal plate.
