1️⃣ Introduction to Plant Morphology
Plant morphology is the study of the external structure of plants, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. It helps in understanding plant adaptations, classification, and physiological functions.
Why is Plant Morphology Important for NEET?
- NEET Biology includes 10-15% of questions from this topic.
- Helps in identifying plant species during practical applications.
- Crucial for agriculture, botany, and medical sciences.
2️⃣ Root System in Plants
The root system is the underground part of a plant that provides support and absorbs water and nutrients.
Types of Roots
🔹 Taproot System – One main root grows downward with lateral branches (e.g., Mango, Pea).
🔹 Fibrous Root System – Many thin roots grow from the base of the stem (e.g., Wheat, Grass).
🔹 Adventitious Roots – Roots that grow from non-root parts like stems or leaves (e.g., Banyan, Maize).
Root Modifications
✔ Storage Roots: Store food (e.g., Carrot, Radish).
✔ Respiratory Roots: Help in gaseous exchange (e.g., Mangroves).
✔ Prop Roots: Aerial roots for support (e.g., Banyan).
MCQs on Roots
1️⃣ Which type of root system is found in monocots?
a) Taproot
b) Fibrous root
c) Adventitious root
d) None of the above
✅ Answer: b) Fibrous root
2️⃣ Which root modification helps in breathing in marshy areas?
a) Prop roots
b) Respiratory roots
c) Storage roots
d) Climbing roots
✅ Answer: b) Respiratory roots
3️⃣ Stem Structure & Modifications
The stem is the aerial part of a plant that supports branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
Functions of the Stem
- Provides support to the plant.
- Transports water & nutrients from roots to leaves.
- Stores food and water in some plants.
Types of Stems
🔹 Herbaceous Stem: Soft and green (e.g., Sunflower).
🔹 Woody Stem: Hard and brown (e.g., Mango tree).
🔹 Climbing Stem: Supports weak-stemmed plants (e.g., Money plant).
Stem Modifications
✔ Rhizomes: Underground horizontal stems (e.g., Ginger).
✔ Tubers: Swollen stems storing food (e.g., Potato).
✔ Thorns: Modified stems for protection (e.g., Bougainvillea).
