In this chapter we learn about MORPHOLOGY OF FLOWERING PLANTS. Even though 
the angiosperms show such a large diversity in external structure or morphology, they are 
all characterised by presence of roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. Flowering 
plants exhibit enormous variation in shape, size, structure, mode of nutrition, life span, 
habit and habitat. They have well developed root and shoot systems. Root system is either 
tap root or fibrous. Generally, dicotyledonous plants have tap roots while 
monocotyledonous plants have fibrous roots. The roots in some plants get modified for 
storage of food, mechanical support and respiration. 
  
The shoot system is differentiated into stem, leaves, flowers and fruits. The morphological 
features of stems like the presence of nodes and inter nodes, multicellular hair and 
positively phototropic nature help to differentiate the stems from roots. Stems also get 
modified to perform diverse functions such as storage of food, vegetative propagation and 
protection under different conditions. 
  
Leaf is a lateral outgrowth of stem developed exogeneously at the node. These are green 
in colour to perform the function of photosynthesis. Leaves exhibit marked variations in 
their shape, size, margin, apex and extent of incisions of leaf blade (lamina). Like other 
parts of plants, the leaves also get modified into other structures such as tendrils, spines 
for climbing and protection respectively. Semi-technical Description of a Typical Flowering 
Plant, Description of Some Important Families.
