Many plants, many shapes!

For plant specialists botanists, the shape of the stem is a good way to differentiate between species. This part of the plant, responsible for support, can present itself in the following ways: above ground (aerial) or hidden in the ground (underground).

Trees such as almond, mango, avocado and flamboyant have similar size because they have a trunk-like stalk, which grows above the ground and branches at the top, originating the branches. Now, look at a coconut tree, an açaí palm tree or an imperial palm tree. Did you notice that the stem of these trees is very cylindrical? Well, for botanists, it's the stipe type. Plants with this stem do not have branches. The leaves only grow at the top, starting from the stipe. This formation facilitates the swaying of the foliage in the wind.
