The correct Answer is:
To determine which structure in plants shows unlimited growth, we can analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structures**: The options given are leaves, flowers, fruits, and roots. We need to evaluate each of these structures in terms of their growth characteristics. 2. **Evaluate Leaves**: - Leaves come in various shapes and sizes depending on the species. - However, they do not exhibit unlimited growth. Once a leaf reaches its mature size, it stops growing. - **Conclusion**: Leaves do not show unlimited growth. 3. **Evaluate Flowers**: - Flowers are the reproductive structures of angiosperms and also vary in size and color. - Similar to leaves, flowers do not continue to grow indefinitely; they reach a certain size and then stop developing. - **Conclusion**: Flowers do not show unlimited growth. 4. **Evaluate Fruits**: - Fruits develop from flowers and can vary in size and shape. - While fruits can grow to a certain size, they also have a limit to their growth once they mature. - **Conclusion**: Fruits do not show unlimited growth. 5. **Evaluate Roots**: - Roots are known for their ability to grow indefinitely. They can continue to elongate and branch out as long as there are nutrients and water available in the soil. - Roots adapt their growth based on environmental conditions, which allows them to exhibit unlimited growth. - **Conclusion**: Roots show unlimited growth. 6. **Final Answer**: Based on the evaluations, the structure that shows unlimited growth in plants is **roots**.
