FAQs on Parts of Plants and Structure of Leaf
1. What are the different parts of leaves?

- Stem
- Node
-
Internode
-
Bud
-
Leaf
-
Axillary Bud
-
Terminal Bud

Cambium
2. What are the main parts of a plant?
Plants contain various major parts, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Every part helps the plant's growth and survival.
3. How does photosynthesis occur in leaves?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of leaf cells. Chlorophyll is a green pigment that captures sunlight, and along with carbon dioxide and water, converts them into glucose (food) for the plant.
4. How are fruits formed in a plant?
After pollination and fertilisation, the flower's ovary develops into a fruit, which protects and releases the seeds.
5. What is the function of a plant's roots?
Roots hold the plant in the earth and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. They act as a food storage facility for the plant.
