There are 2 Organ Systems in Plants: Shoot and Root
It is located above ground where most of us will find plant organs such as seeds, stems, flowers, fruit, etc.
Second system is ROOT (di na ko mag jojoke)
On the contrary to Shoot, Root is below ground. It includes roots, tubers (an enlarged, fleshy, underground stem with buds capable of producing new plants) and rhizomes (a horizontal stem that is usually underground and roots grow from it.)
So gaano ba ka useful si Roots? Well, it anchor the plant lang naman in soil so that it doesn’t fall over. Pwede siyang ikumpara sa straws through which water and minerals from the soil move upward to the shoot system. Tiny root hairs stick out of the root, helping in the absorption. Roots also store extra food for future use.
