Stem Structure and Function
What are the three main functions of
stems?

Stem Structure and Function
Stems have three important functions:
• they produce leaves, branches and
flowers
• they hold leaves up to the sunlight
• they transport substances between roots
and leaves

Stem Structure and Function
Stems make up an essential part of the water and
mineral transport systems of the plant.
Xylem and phloem form continuous tubes from the
roots through the stems to the leaves.
This allows water and nutrients to be carried
throughout the plant.

Stem Structure and Function
Stems are surrounded by a layer of epidermal cells
that have thick cell walls and a waxy protective
coating.

Stem Structure and Function
Leaves attach to the
stem at structures
called nodes.
Bud
The regions of stem
between the nodes are
internodes.
Small buds are found
where leaves attach to
nodes.

Stem Structure and Function
Buds contain
undeveloped tissue that
can produce new stems
and leaves.
Bud
In larger plants, stems
develop woody tissue that
helps support leaves and
flowers.

Monocot and Dicot Stems
Monocot and Dicot Stems
The arrangemnet of tissues in a stem differs
among seed plants.
How do monocot and dicot stems differ?

Monocot and Dicot Stems
In monocots, vascular bundles are
scattered throughout the stem. In dicots
and most gymnosperms, vascular bundles
are arranged in a ringlike pattern.

Monocot and Dicot Stems
Monocot Stems
Monocot stems have a distinct epidermis,
which encloses vascular bundles.
Each vascular bundle contains xylem and
phloem tissue.

Primary Growth of
Stems
All seed plants
undergo primary
growth, which is an
increase in length.

For the entire life of
the plant, new cells are

Primary Growth of Stems
Apical meristem
Primary growth
of stems is
produced by cell
divisions in the
apical meristem.
It takes place in
all seed plants.

Secondary Growth of Stems
Secondary Growth of Stems
The method of growth in which stems increase
in width is called secondary growth.
In conifers and dicots, secondary growth
takes place in the vascular cambium and
cork cambium.
Slide

23–3 Stems
Secondary Growth of Stems
Vascular cambium produces vascular tissues and
increases the thickness of stems over time.
Cork cambium produces the outer covering of
stems.
The addition of new tissue in these cambium layers
increases the thickness of the stem.

Secondary Growth of Stems
Formation of the Vascular Cambium
Once secondary growth begins, the vascular
cambium appears as a thin layer between the
xylem and phloem of each vascular bundle.

Secondary Growth of Stems
The vascular cambium divides to produce xylem cells
toward the center of the stem and phloem cells
toward the outside.

Wood is actually layers

Secondary Growth of Stems
As woody stems grow
thicker, older xylem cells
near the center of the
stem no longer conduct
water.
Xylem: Heartwood
This is called
heartwood. Heartwood
supports the tree.

by sapwood.
Xylem: Sapwood
Sapwood is active in water
and mineral transport.
