Angiosperms or flowering plants are differentiated into flowers, stem, roots, and leaves. These plants bear seeds that enclose the fruit. On the basis of seed type they can be classified into: The apex of the root is covered by a thimble-like structure called root cap; it protects the tender apex of the root while making its way through the soil. A noticeable cuticle on the epidermis covers the leaf’s upper (adaxial epidermis) and lower (abaxial epidermis) surfaces.Ryz, N.R.; Remillard, D.J.; Russo, E.B.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Plants cannot survive in the air high above the ground without a connection between the roots and the leaves. Transporting food from leaves to the rest of the plant and water and minerals from roots to leaves are two other essential functions performed by stems. Stems of many plants can also serve as winter or summer-time food or water reserves. Dicotyledonous Stem Epigynous flowers: The margin of thalamus grows to completely cover the ovary. Ovary is said to be inferior. A plant has large number of leaves. Leaves of different plants have different shapes and sizes, but all of them have same basic structure.

The leaves of plant give out water vapour.Since the leaves are enclosed in polythene bag, the water vapours cannot escape into air.
