[[File:Plant.svg|thumb|right|Root and shoot systems in a [[eudicots|eudicot]]]]
Plants have two major organs systems. Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a '''shoot system''', and a '''root system'''. The shoot system consists stems, leaves, and the reproductive parts of the plant (flowers and fruits). The shoot system generally grows above ground, where it absorbs the light needed for [[photosynthesis]]. The root system, which supports the plants and absorbs water and minerals, is usually underground.<ref name = "hillidsafdsdassadsetal2014x">{{cite book | last1 = Hillis | first1 = David M. | last2 = Sadava | first2 = David | last3 = Hill | first3 = Richard W. | last4 = Price | first4 = Mary V. | chapter = The plant body | title = Principles of Life | publisher = Sinauer Associates | edition = 2nd | date = 2014 | location = Sunderland, Mass. | pages = 521–536 | isbn = 978-1464175121}}</ref>
