|[[File:FloweringPlantDiagram.png|center|200px]]
|-
|This plant has a '''stem''' from the [[Bulb (Biology)|bulb]] to the [[Leaf|leaves]] and [[flower]].
|The trunk of a [[tree]] is a '''stem'''.
|The '''stem''' connects the [[Root|roots]] to the [[Leaf|leaves]].
The stem is a [[Plant|plant]] [[Organ|organ]] that supports the [[plant]] and connects the [[Leaf|leaves]] and [[Root|roots]] to allow [[Chemical|chemicals]] to be [[Transfer|transferred]] between them.
===Adaptations====: The '''stem''' has long hollow tubes inside it to transport water from the [[rootsroot]] s to the [[leaf|leaves]] and [[flower]] and different tubes to transport food from the [[leaf|leaves]] to the [[roots]]and [[flower]].: A '''stem''' often has woody tissue inside it that is hard but bendy which supports the plant to grow tall without breaking. ==Key Stage 3=====Meaning===The [[stem]] is an [[organ]] in the [[Shoot System]] of a [[plant]] that is responsible for supporting the [[Leaf|leaves]] and [[flower]] and [[Water Transport System|transports water]] and food between the [[root]]s and [[Leaf|leaves]]. ===About the Stem===: The [[stem]] has [[Plant Vein|veins]] inside it that have two tubes; the [[Xylem]] and the [[Phloem]].: The [[Xylem]] [[Water Transport System|transports water]] and [[mineral]]s up the [[stem]] to the [[leaf|leaves]].: The [[Phloem]] transports food from the [[leaf|leaves]] to the [[root]]s.
