2. Plant Systems A majority of plants have 2 types of systems
The Root system
The Shoot System

3. The Shoot System
The shoot system is everything above ground. This includes the vegetative parts, such as the leaves and the stems, and the reproductive parts, such as the flowers and fruits.

4. The Root System
The root system is below ground. This is where some of meristem tissue is found

5. The Meristem Tissue
The meristem region of cells capable of division and growth in plants. 
Plant Meristem tissue can be found in 3 places
The Buds (where new leaves start)
The Stem (Vascular Tissue)
The Root Tip

6. Vascular Tissue The Vascular Tissue is found in the stem of the plant
There are 2 main parts
The Xylem (moves water up the plant)
The Phloem (moves sugars down the plant)
