In plants, just as in animals, similar cells working together form a tissue. When different types of tissues work together to perform a unique function, they form an organ; organs working together form organ systems. Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system, and a root system.

Plant responses to light
Light: it's not just for photosynthesis! Plants use light cues to regulate many aspects of their growth and development. For instance, have you ever seen a plant bend its stem towards a window or light? Learn why this happens at the level of light receptors and hormones!

6 days ago · Botany is the scientific study of plants and plant-like organisms. It helps us understand why plants are so vitally important to the world. Plants start the majority of food and energy chains, they provide us with oxygen, food and medicine. Plants can be divided into two groups: plants\(_1\) and plants\(_2\).
Plants have two organ systems: the root system and the shoot system (figure 3.a 3. a ). The root system is typically belowground and consists of roots, which specialized in water and nutrient absorption. The shoot system consists of stems and leaves and is typically aboveground.
