Parts of a plant Chapter 7 Class 6

 Components of a plant

Roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and fruits are all elements of a typical plant's body. Roots are the parts of the plant that are found below ground. The stem, leaves, buds, flowers, fruits, and seeds are all present above ground.

Root

The roots are brown in colour and usually found underground. The root hairs are the thin threadlike structures that cover the roots. A root cap protects the tip of the root and serves as a preventative measure. The root system is made up of the root and the root hairs.


Root characteristics


  1. The roots develop away from the light and towards the dirt. As a result, it's called a geotropic structure.
  2. The chlorophyll pigment, which gives the root its green colour, is absent. It is unable to create food.
  3. Leaves, buds, and flowers are not produced by roots.
  4. Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil through their root hairs.

Stem
The plant's stem is the component that rises above the ground. A plant's leaves, flowers, and fruits are carried on the stem. It has a mild, green, or woody scent. It grows towards the direction of the sun. It climbs up from the earth.
Stem Characteristics

  1. The stem is what allows the plant to remain upright as a whole.
  2. They are phototrophic at all times. i.e. they grow in the direction of the sun.
  3. Internodes separate nodes (the point at which a leaf or branch emerges) on the stem (gap between two nodes). Branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits are all supported by the stem.

Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India.

Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
