What is the function of a plant's stem?

The stem of a plant is very important because it helps support the plant and holds it up. It also carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and flowers. The stem makes sure the plant can grow tall towards the sunlight!

Example: A sunflower has a thick stem that keeps it tall and straight so it can reach the sun.

Fun Fact: Some plants have really strong stems that let them climb, like vines that grow up trees!
