What are woody plants?
Woody plant is the one that uses wood as part of its structural support. These plants are mostly perennials, which means that they will return year after year without planting. Not all supportive stems on a wooden plant are made of wood, often only the main stems and large roots are wood, while others are made of softer tissue.
Six different groups include wooden plants. They include deciduous trees, deciduous shrubs, evergreen trees, evergreen shrubs, woody vines and wooden ground cover. Most people are familiar with deciduous and evergreen trees and bushes. Woody vines exist both in flowering and non -favorable varieties and can die in areas that experience cold winters. Woody Ground Covery, such as a creeping spring, spreads underground rhizomes or a process called layering, where the branches develop roots wherever they touch the ground.
Woody plants include a number of popular garden plants and some rarely seen varieties. Aliana is an example of woodNot plants that are most commonly seen in the wild. Liana is a vine that has underground roots and rises trees, rolled up to the tree towards the sunlight and uses the tree as support.
Not all plants that seem to be Woods are. Many annual plants develop stiff wood as a stem during the growing season. The stems become hard due to the clear volume of tissue. As the cells multiply, the stem becomes stiff, but it's not really wood.
wood is beneficial to plants because the plant allows the plant to grow stronger and higher than softer stems and plants. The wood consists of two materials: lignin and cellulose that are rigid and provide a supporting structure for a wood plant. The Woody plant also has a vascular system, similar to the human cardiovascular system, for the transport of nutrients and water through a plant.
Woody plants get wider and higher every year when it sets newdeposits of wooden tissue. Most of the trees are the latest tissue on the outer layer. Looking at the newly cut tree, the wood is the oldest to the center of the trunk. Some varieties of woody plants, especially certain palm trees, put a new wood tissue on the inside of the plant, so the oldest tissue is on the outside of the tree.
