• The part of the plant, which is underground is called as root system

Shoot system

• The part of the plant, whic is above the ground is called as shoot system.
• The shoot system will include the stems, leaves, node, internode, flower, bud, and the fruit.

Roots:

• Roots will help in absorbing the water and minerals in the soil and help in anchorage of the plant.

Stem:

• Stems are present in the shoot system.
• The stems main function is to conduct water and minerals to the leaves
