Across
  1. 4. an organ system found underground, supports the plant, and absorbs water and minerals
  2. 5. hair-like structures on epidermal surface that reduce transpiration
  3. 8. consists of plant cells that are no longer actively dividing
  4. 11. merismatic tissue located on the tips of stems and roots
  5. 13. an organ system that grows above ground;consists of the vegetative and reproductive parts of the plant
  6. 14. vascular tissue that transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant
  7. 15. elongated type of plant cell that provides support and wind resistance
  8. 16. a root system with dense network of roots and prevents soil erosion
  9. 17. modified stem that grows horizontally underground
  10. 18. plant cells that provide support but most of which are dead at maturity
Down
  1. 1. covers and protects the plant
  2. 2. divide and contribute to plant growth;found in plant regions called meristems
  3. 3. extension of root epidermal cells, increasing the root surface area
  4. 6. makes up the dermal tissue of the stem
  5. 7. produce cells that quickly differentiate or specialize and become permanent tissue
  6. 8. vascular tissue that transports organic compounds
  7. 9. has a main root that grows down vertically and from which smaller lateral roots arise
  8. 10. type of plant cell that contains chloroplasts, and is responsible for photosynthesis
  9. 12. facilitate growth in thickness or girth in a maturing plant
  10. 19. waxy layer that covers the leaves and reduces the rate of water loss
