MaxinePlants do not breathe through their stems. The main organs involved in plant respiration are the leaves, where gas exchange occurs through small pores called stomata. Stems primarily function in providing structural support and transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant.

Why does plants do not breathe from stem?
Plants do not breathe from their stems because they do not have respiratory organs like animals do. Plants carry out gas exchange through tiny pores called stomata on their leaves. These stomata allow for the exchange of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen with the surrounding environment.
How is the way plants breathe different from the way we breathe?
Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen through a process called photosynthesis, which occurs in their leaves. They do not have lungs or a circulatory system like humans. In contrast, humans breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide through their lungs as part of the respiratory process.
What do plants breathe in through their microscopic pores?
CO2 and they breath out oxygen
What is the organ that helps us decide when you should breathe?
The brain stem.
How does a plant get it water?
Plants absorb water through their roots from the soil. Water travels up through the plant's roots, stem, and into the leaves through a process called transpiration. Transpiration helps in the movement of water and nutrients throughout the plant.
