Dicot Flower

Area of Growth in Length on Root System

This specimen has been used to represent this term as the roots are clearly seen below the shoot system; a clear difference between the root and shoot systems is that in the root system, the main stem parts off into other miniature stems known as roots.

Area of Growth in Length on Shoot System

This specimen has been selected to represent this term as the length of the shoot system relates to the plant's apical-basal orientation; the stem indicates this growth in length.

Area of Growth in Girth of the Shoot System

This specimen- the heartwood- has been selected to represent this term because the girth of a plant refers to the larger radial size of the stem of the plant.
