Plant stem

Leaves are available year-round but offer fewer calories per kilogram.

Stems, the hard, woody outer stalks that give bamboo its structural rigidity, are the least nutritious part, but they are available in all seasons and can be eaten when nothing better is at hand.

Pandas have been observed eating more than 60 different species of bamboo over the full extent of their geographic range, though any individual panda in a given patch of habitat usually relies on just two or three species that happen to grow in its particular home range.

Bamboo has an unusual and somewhat mysterious reproductive cycle that has, at certain points in history, created real and serious problems for panda populations.

Roots branch from any part and usually without definite order.

Stems normally give rise to branches only at definite points, namely at the nodes, and there only from the axils of leaves.

Buds.

Every incipient shoot is a bud.

Stems do not produce from roots in ordinary cases, as is generally thought, but roots from stems.

When perennial herbs arise from the ground, as they do at springtime, they rise from subterranean stems.

Non-vascular plants, by the way, are often low-lying plants like mosses, and we'll cover them in another episode.

But for now, we're on the hunt for our rascally-vascally stems.

Stems provide the structural framework of the plant, whether dainty daisy stems or thick tree trunks.

Yes, tree trunks are stems.

Stems are typically, though not always,

Asparagus, though, is a great example of a stem.

Daisies are broken petals, are news of the day.

Stems lift to the grass tops.

They catch on shoes, part in the middle, leave root and leaves secure.

Black branches carry square leaves to the wood's top.

But it's not just blue-collar workers.

It's also the people, as we've talked before, who are in the STEMs and the science and technology and so forth because the information that goes into these centers is very important.

Very important.

You know, when you look at human history, there have always been these efforts to destroy the mind, thinking, knowledge, information.

Exactly.

Yesterday I was part of a group, and this is as an advisor for the Ministry of Education for AI and STEM.

And I was myself a biology and chemistry teacher.

And I have some... hesitations of introducing STEM globally into the education system.

But if it's going to be, if it's going to be introduced, I want to be around that table.
