Across
  1. 3. Part of the plant that is for anchoring the plant to the soil, absorbing water and minerals and transporting them upwards, and storing the products of photosynthesis.
  2. 6. Tissue that serves as a site for photosynthesis and provides supporting matrix for vascular tissue
  3. 7. Modified stem that grows horizontally underground and has nodes and internodes
  4. 8. Meristematic tissues only found in monocots
  5. 9. Contain meristematic tissue located at the tips of stems and roots
  6. 12. Small hairs on the leaf surface that deter predators
  7. 13. Facilitate growth in thickness or girth in a maturing plant
  8. 14. Main hormones responsible for cell elongation in phototropism and gravitropism.
  9. 17. Arrangement of leaves on a stem
  10. 18. Tissue that covers and protects the plant
  11. 20. Provide support and are dead cells at maturity
Down
  1. 1. Tissue that transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant
  2. 2. Responsible for metabolic functions, such as photosynthesis, and they help repair and heal wounds
  3. 4. Plant cells that are no longer actively dividing
  4. 5. Slender, twining strands that allow plants to seek support to climb on surfaces
  5. 10. Transports organic compounds from the site of photosynthesis to other parts of the plant
  6. 11. Elongated cells with unevenly thickened walls, provide support
  7. 15. Transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant,
  8. 16. Part of the plant that connects the roots to the leaves
  9. 19. Plant cells that continue to divide and contribute to the growth of the plant
