Storage

Storage

Many plants synthesise more plant materials than they require for their immediate growth. This excess food may be stored in the embryo, seed or other parts of the plant for further use. Some plants store this food in enlarged parenchyma tissues which are associated with the phloem tissues of the root, such as beets, carrots, etc. Some plants, especially the perennials, store absorbed nutrients in the parenchyma tissues associated with the xylem tissues for next spring use.
