  1. - any member of flowering plants that has a pair of leaves in the embryo of the seed
  2. - a group of seed-producing plants that includes conifers, cycads, and Gingko. The name means “naked seed” because of the unenclosed condition of the seeds.
  3. meristem - a specialized zone of growth found at the tips of plants that is responsible for the extension of shoots and roots
  4. - plants that keep their leaves all year-round
  5. - the natural compound present in green plants that gives them their color. This helps the plants absorb energy from the sun.
  6. - water-soluble pigments that are found naturally in foods found in red, purple, and blue fruits and vegetables
  7. - these are thin branching roots that grow from the stem. They are universally present in monocot plants and ferns.
  8. - these roots are occasionally used as food because they are able to store nutrients during development
  9. - a group of plants that produce flowers and fruits. This group includes about 300,000 species!
  10. - any member of flowering plants that has one leaf in the embryo of the seed
  11. - large groups of plants that have tissues capable of moving water and minerals throughout the plant, including xylem and phloem
  12. - roots that are exposed to the air that can photosynthesize and have chlorophyll. They are also an example of adventitious roots.
  13. - a plant that lives more than two years
  14. - modified adventitious roots that grow downward that support the lower branches
  15. - fungi that have symbiotic relationships with the roots of many plants
  16. crown - the part of the root system from where the stem arises
  17. - a plant that completes its life cycle in one year (or growing season) and then dies
  18. - these roots extend horizontally from the main stem, contributing to anchoring the plant in the soil, facilitating water uptake, and extracting nutrients required for growth. They are also known to make symbiotic relationships with bacteria and fungi.

Down
  1. - the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar

  4. - a root that comes from a point other than the radicle or the root axis. This can be in response to stress conditions such as nutrient deficiency.
  5. - groups of plants without vascular systems. These plants instead have simpler tissues that have specialized functions for transporting water and nutrients.
  6. - bacteria that are capable of “fixing” nitrogen
  7. - the main primary root system, growing vertically downward. Some of these roots are specialized for food storage (like the roots of carrots and beets).
