  1. 1. The main structural part of a plant that supports leaves, flowers, and fruits. Stems transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. They can be thick, thin, woody, or herbaceous, depending on the type of plant.
  2. 3. The small, dormant structure produced by plants for reproduction. Seeds contain the embryo of a future plant and are dispersed through various means, such as wind, water, or animals. They can germinate and grow into new plants.
  3. 4. A succulent plant adapted to arid environments. Cacti have thick, fleshy stems, spines, and the ability to store water. They come in various shapes and sizes and are known for their resilience in harsh conditions.
  4. 7. A colorful and fragrant part of a plant that produces seeds. Flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies and come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They are essential for plant reproduction.
  5. 8. A small, non-woody plant used for culinary, medicinal, or aromatic purposes. Herbs, such as basil, mint, or rosemary, are often grown in gardens or pots. They add flavor to food and have been used for their healing properties for centuries.
  6. 9. The mature ovary of a flowering plant that contains seeds. Fruits are often sweet or savory and come in various shapes, colors, and flavors. They are an important source of nutrients and are consumed by both humans and animals.
  7. 11. A low-growing, woody plant with many branches and dense foliage. Bushes can be found in gardens, parks, or natural habitats and provide shelter and food for small animals. They can have colorful flowers or produce berries or nuts.
  8. 13. A large plant with a woody trunk, branches, and leaves. Trees provide shade, produce oxygen, and serve as habitats for many animals. They come in different types, such as oak, pine, and maple, and can live for many years.
  9. 14. A climbing or trailing plant that uses tendrils, stems, or leaves to attach and climb surfaces. Vines can be found in forests and gardens and often produce fruits, such as grapes or pumpkins. They add beauty and can provide shade.

  1. 1. A type of plant with thick, fleshy leaves or stems that store water. Succulents come in various shapes and sizes and are known for their unique and often striking appearance. They are popular houseplants and can thrive in arid conditions.
  2. 2. A small, non-vascular plant that grows in dense, damp clusters. Mosses can be found in forests, on rocks, or even on tree trunks. They thrive in shaded areas and contribute to the overall biodiversity of an ecosystem.
  3. 5. A type of plant with narrow leaves that grows in dense tufts or lawns. Grasses are common in many landscapes, including parks, gardens, and sports fields. They provide greenery and are often used as a groundcover or for grazing animals.
  4. 6. The flat, green structure of a plant that grows from a stem or branch. Leaves are responsible for photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy. They come in various shapes and sizes, such as round, long, or oval.
  5. 10. The part of a plant that grows underground. Roots anchor the plant, absorb water and nutrients from the soil, and store food. They come in different types, including taproots and fibrous roots, and play a crucial role in plant growth.
  6. 12. A non-flowering plant with feathery leaves and spores for reproduction. Ferns are typically found in moist environments, such as forests or gardens, and add a lush, green aesthetic. They have been around for millions of years.
