Getting to Know Plants
What is a Plant?
A Plant is a living organism for instance trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses, typically growing in a permanent site, absorbing water and inorganic substances through its roots,
Stem
The stem is the main body or stalk of a plant or shrub, typically rising above ground but, it holds up the plant as it keeps it straight and delivers the water to the leaves.
Examples - Celery, Kohlrabi, Rhubarb, Turmeric, Asparagus etc.
Shrub
A tree usually has one stem, which at some height has branches. A shrub can have multiple stems from the bottom up. Usually, bushes do not grow as tall as trees, very often they are less than 1–2 m tall. Shrubs can be either deciduous or evergreen.
Examples - Hibiscus, Red Raspberry, Oleander, HighBush Blueberry, PaperPlant, Sugar Maple etc.
Creeper
A creeper is a plant that grows very low to the ground or close to a wall or fence. Many types of ivy and other vines are creepers.
Examples - Watermelon, StrawBerry, Sweet Potatos, Pumpkin etc.
Fern
Ferns are plants that do not have flowers. Ferns generally reproduce by producing spores. Similar to flowering plants, ferns have roots, stems and leaves.
Examples - Eagle Fern, Male Fern, Royale Fern, Japanese Painted Fern, Ostrich Fern etc.
Grass
Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground.
Tree
A tree is a long-lived woody plant that has a single usually tall main stem with few or no branches on its lower part.
Examples - CocoNut Tree, Weeping Willow, Dragon Tree, Papaya Tree, Silver Birch etc.
Leaf
A Leaf flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk. Leaves are the main organs of photosynthesis and transpiration.
Examples - Lettuce, Silverbeet, Brussel Sprouts, Witloof, Puha etc.
