Plant struCture AND Types of plants

1. There are two main parts of the plant, the root system below the ground and the stem and leaves which are above the ground. In some cases roots are found above ground and stems grow below. The plants have roots, leaf, main stem and flowers. The root fixes the plant in the soil, takes in food and water, and in some cases stores food. The stem supports the leaves and flower which grow out of it, acts as a channel between roots and the leaves, taking water and foods from one to the other, and sometimes is used for storage. The leaf is green, thin and arranged on the stem so that it gets as much light and air as possible. Inside the leaf are veins, which strengthen it and carry water and foods. The flower only appears at certain times in the life of the plant. The stamens, the male part of the flower, produce pollen that fertilizes the female part of the flower, and this leads to the formation of seed that ripens on the plant.

2. Types of plants. The crop plants can be sorted into main groups according to their type and reason why they are grown. Cereal crops (often known as corn in Britain) include wheat, barley, oats, rye and maize, all grown for their grain. Other combinable crops (peas, beans, oil seed rape, and linseed). Root crops, grown for their roots, which are sold or fed to livestock, include potatoes, sugar beet, mangels, swedes, turnips, carrots and other root vegetables. Forage crops, grown for their leaves and stems – sometimes fed directly to livestock, sometimes harvested and processed first – include kale, cabbage, forage maize, forage rape and radish, mustard, etc.

3. The cereals are the most important arable crops, grown in Great Britain. The acreage of cereals has increased greatly in recent years; and with the help of fertilizers, weedkillers, fungicides, other chemicals and new varieties it has become much easier to grow heavier yields of grain. There are winter (autumn) wheat and spring wheat, with different varieties in each type. Winter wheat yields about 15 to 20 per cent more than spring wheat.
