CD152. Anatomy of Phanerogams. Most terrestrial plants anchor themselves to the ground using roots that also take up water and nutrients that the plant needs. The shoot above the ground, called stem, serves simultaneously to produce and support leaves and branches and to transport the assimilation products processed in the leaves to the plant’s storage organs.
