2. Functions
• Support leaves & flowers
• Transport water, minerals, & food
• Some also store excess food &/or photosynthesize

3. Herbaceous vs. Woody Stems• Herbaceous - soft, green & can
photosynthesize
-examples: petunias, carnations
• Woody - hard & rigid with cork &
vascular cambium
-examples: conifers, perennial
dicots

4. Stems & Food Storage
• Corms - short, thick underground stem with leaf scales (gladiolus)
• Tubers - swollen underground stem with buds (potato)
• Rhizomes - horizontal underground stems that store food (iris)

5. Benefit of food storage in stems
• Helps plant survive drought or cold and enable it to grow from year to year

8. Herbaceous Monocot vs. Dicot?
• Monocots have scattered vascular bundles whereas dicots have bundles arranged in a ring around the cambium

11. Cause of Annual Rings?
• Seasonal changes
- springwood has many large vessels
= light rings
-summerwood (late in the season) has
fewer, smaller vessels = dark rings

12. Heartwood vs. Sapwood
• Heartwood - clogged xylem at center of
woody stem (non-functional)
& darker due to resins,
gums, & tannins
• Sapwood - lighter, functional xylem on
outer edges of stem
