Why is not any one parameter good enough to demonstrate growth throughout the life of a flowering plant?
थोडक्यात उत्तर
उत्तर
- A flowering plant is made up of several parts that grow differently at different phases of its life cycle, such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
- For these plant organs to exhibit growth, various conditions must be satisfied. The fresh weight of plant parts, such as fruits, bulbs, corms, etc., is used to gauge their growth. Additional metrics are employed to measure the growth of fruits, such as increases in volume and diameter.
- The increase in surface area is used as a parameter for flat organs, such as leaves. Since the primary growth characteristics of stems and roots are length and girth, increases in both length and diameter are used to quantify their growth.
- As a result, the flowering plants display expansion in a number of ways.
