|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]].
===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.
