Which two organ systems make up the body of a vascular plant?
AThe shoot system and the root system
BThe dermal system and the root system
CThe shoot system and the ground system
DThe vascular system and the leaf system
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The shoot system and the root system
1. A vascular plant is built from two organ systems, the shoot system and the root system.
2. The shoot system carries the leaves and stems along with the flowers and fruits, and generally grows above ground.
3. The root system supports the plant and absorbs water and minerals, and is usually underground.
4. Dermal, ground and vascular are tissue systems rather than organ systems, so they do not answer the question.
