Q3 Can you �nd a plant in your house or in your neighborhood, which has a long but
weak stem? Write its name. In which category will you place it?
Answer. The money plant has a long and weak stem. It comes under the category of
climbers. Climbers are plants that readily take support on neighbouring structures as
they have a weak stem.
Q4 What is the function of a stem?
Answer. The main function of a stem in plants is that it helps in the conduction of water
and minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts of plants. It also provides
support to branches, leaves, �owers, fruits, and buds of plants.
Q5 Which of the following leaves have reticulate venation? Wheat, tulsi, maize, grass,
coriander (dhania), China rose
Answer. The leaves of tulsi, coriander, and China rose have reticulate venation, whereas
maize, grass, and wheat have parallel venation. In leaves with reticulate venation, the
veins are arranged in a net-like pattern. In parallel venation, the veins are arranged
parallel to one another.

Leaves with reticulate and parallel venation
Q6 If a plant has �brous root, what type of venation do its leaves have?
Answer. Plants with �brous roots have parallel venation in their leaves. For example,
grass, wheat, maize, etc. have �brous roots with parallel venation.
Fibrous roots with parallel venation
Fibrous roots have thin and moderately growing branches arising from the stem. Parallel
venation, on the other hand, has leaves in which the veins are arranged parallel to each
other.
Q7 If a plant has leaves with reticulate venation, what kind of roots will it have?
Answer. Plants with reticulate venation in their leaves are likely to have tap roots. For
example, a carrot or a rose plant has leaves with reticulate venation and its roots are
called tap roots.

Taproots and reticulate venation
In tap roots, there is one main root known as the tap root' that grows straight down from
the stem. It also has smaller roots known as 'lateral roots'. In leaves with reticulate
venation, the veins are arranged in a net-like pattern.
Q8 Is it possible for you to �nd out whether a plant has taproot or �brous roots by
looking at the impression of its leaf on a sheet of paper?
Answer. Yes. We can recognize leaves without seeing them. You can look for the type of
roots of the plant and identify the type of leaf. If the plant has �brous roots, then its
leaves have parallel venation, and if the plant has tap roots, then its leaves have
reticulate venation.
Q9 What are the parts of a �ower.
Answer. A �ower consists of sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. A stamen has two parts
called the anther and the �lament. A pistil has three parts called the stigma, style, and
ovary.
