What are the functions of hormones in plants?

Plant hormones are chemicals plants use for communication, coordination, and development between their many cells. Like animals, plants rely on these chemical signals to direct the expression of DNA and the operations of the cell. Plant hormones are natural substances which control many aspects of plant development.Plant hormones as signal molecules regulate cellular processes in targeted cells locally and when moved to other locations of the plant. They also determine the formation of the root, stem, leaf, and flower and facilitate the shedding of leaves and the development and ripening of fruits.

Explanation:

There are many things that hormones do to plants.

Explanation:

First, they can help the growth of the plant, they can also help the plant respond correctly to other natural stimulus like weather or a change in temperature. They also help in cell division.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
