A plant organ system is a group of different organs in a plant that work together to carry out essential functions for survival and growth, similar to organ systems in animals. The main plant organ systems are the root system and the shoot system. The root system anchors the plant and absorbs water and minerals from the soil. The shoot system includes the stems, leaves, and flowers, which support the plant, carry out photosynthesis, and enable reproduction. These systems work together to help the plant live and grow in its environment.
