Plant Parts (Node and Internode)

Node and Internode

This picture highlights the node and internode of a plant. The node is where a leaf, branch, or aerial root grows off of the stem. This connects the leaf, branch, or root with the stem. This picture also shows internodes. Internodes are the areas in between two nodes. It is the piece of stem without a node. For example, there is an internode in between the two nodes that connect the tap root with the lateral branches. (1)
