Tap Root
• The main straight root of a plant that has
smaller roots growing out from its sides
Fibrous Root
• A root system in some plants such as grasses
that consists of numerous very fine branches
of approximately the same length
Stems
• The main stalk of a plant that bears buds and
shoots
Xylem
• The woody supportive plant tissue that carries
water and dissolved minerals from the roots
through the stem and leaves
Phloem
• One of the two main types of tissue in
vascular plants, which conducts synthesized
nutrients to all parts of the plant. It is made
up of sap-conducting tubes sieve tubes and
the cells that lie alongside them companion
cells, elongated cells of soft tissue
parenchyma, and fibers.
Cambium
• A cylindrical layer of cells in plant roots and
stems that produces the new tissue
responsible for increased girth, particularly
sap-conducting tissues, xylem and phloem,
and bark
Complete flower
• Describes flowers that have all the principal
flower parts, which are carpels, petals, sepals,
and stamens
Incomplete flower
A flower without one or more of the normal
parts, as carpels, sepals, petals, pistils, or
stamens.
Pistil
• The female part of a flower
Ovary
Ovule
Stigma
• The part of a flower that receives pollen
Style
Stamen
Anther
• the top part of a stamen of a flower that
contains pollen
Filament
Pollen
• A powdery substance produced by flowering
plants that contains male reproductive cells. It
is carried by wind and insects to other plants,
which it fertilizes
Seed
• A small hard part produced by a plant that can
grow into a new plant of the same type
Embryo
Seed coat
• a plant part produced by sexual reproduction
that contains the embryo and gives rise to a
new individual. In flowering plants it is
enclosed within the fruit.
Endosperm
• the tissue that surrounds the embryo inside a
plant seed and provides nourishment for it
Leaves
• flat green parts that grow in various shapes
from the stems or branches of a plant or tree
and whose main function is photosynthesis
Chloroplast
• a membranous sac plastid that contains
chlorophyll and other pigments and is the
place where photosynthesis occurs within the
cells of plants and algae. While plant cells
contain numerous chloroplasts, algal cells
often have just one. Each consists of
interconnected stacks of disk-shaped
membranes in fluid, surrounded by a double
membrane.
Sepal
• a modified leaf in the outermost whorl calyx
of a flower that encloses the petals and other
parts
Receptacle
Transpiration
• the process in which water that has traveled
from the roots of a plant up to its leaves
passes out into the air as vapor
