Cells on the darker side of the stem elongate more than cells on the lighter side

Photosynthetic processes dictate the growth

The growth of the stem is determined by metabolic processes, which are stimulated by light striking the stems

The plant will grow away from other plants so as to minimize competition

Contractile cells on the light side of the stems dictate the growth toward light

Fibrous root systems do not penetrate deeply into the soil

Fibrous root systems consist of a series of roots that spread out from a major single root

Fibrous root systems usually penetrate deeply into the soil

Fibrous root systems are well adapted to soil where ground water is not close to the surface

Xylem

Cuticle

Parenchyma

Pericycle

Provide secondary growth in woody plants

Provide nutrients to apical meristems

Maintain water homeostasis

Stimulate root hair growth

Cortex

Phelloderm

Phloem

Phloem is dead at maturity, while xylem is living

Phloem is responsible for food transfer, while xylem is responsible for water transfer

Phloem can transport material bidirectionally, while xylem can only transport material unidirectionally

Phloem consists of sieve tubes and companion cells, while xylem consists of tracheids and vessel elements

All of these statements are true
