Plant Structures

4. Vascular tissue that transports food
7. Male reproductive part of a flower
8. Reproductive structure of an angiosperm
10. Structures in which food is made
16. The young plant that develops from the zygote
17. Type of stem that is often soft, example ivy
18. Type of stem that is hard and rigid, like in most trees.
19. The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures
21. Protects the root as it grows through the soil
23. Outer bark that protects the cells inside
24. Acts like plastic wrap, protecting the embryo and its food from drying out
26. Pollen is produced here
29. Pores that control when gases enter of leave the leaf
30. carries substances between the plant's roots and leaves, provides support for the plant

1. Vascular tissue that transports water; also known as sapwood in trees
2. Fertilized egg
3. Usually the most colorful parts of the flower, pollinators are attracted to their color and sent
5. Consists of many similarly sized roots, forming a dense tangled mass, Onions are examples
6. Represent a year of growth in a tree, made from xylem
9. Occurs when the embryo begins to grow again and pushing out of the seed
11. Female reproductive part of a flower
12. Scattering of seeds by either animals or the wind
13. Slender tube, connects the stigma to a hollow structure at the base of the flower
14. Old, inactive xylem that helps support the tree
15. Waxy layers that help plant reduces water loss
20. Protects the seeds as they develop
22. Hard to pull out of the ground, Cacti are examples
25. Capture the sun’s energy and carry out the food-making process of photosynthesis
27. Anchor a plant in the ground, absorb water and minerals from the soil, and sometimes store food
28. Tissue that produces new xylem and phloem
29. Leaflike parts of a flower, protect the developing flower
