Across
- 2. They have roots, stems, and leaves; flammable
- 12. Nonvascular seedless plants move materials from cell to cell by this and diffusion
- 13. Structures that anchor a nonvascular seedless plant to a surface
- 15. Reproduce by spores, do not have flowers; some do not have vascular tissues
- 18. Is made of long, hollow, narrow stem segments with tiny, non-photosynthetic leaves
- 19. Over 90 percent of all plant species are this type of plant
- 20. Leaflike structures, part of clubmosses
Down
- 1. Do not have roots, stems, or leaves
- 3. Composed of tubelike cells that transport water and nutrients in some plants; in vascular seedless plants
- 4. Look like a lobe of the liver, their rhizoids are unicellular; two common forms are leafy and thallose
- 5. Lacks both roots and leaves, otherwise basically same as a fern
- 6. Waxy, protective layer on a plant's leaves, stems, and flowers

- 10. Term scientists use to refer to nonvascular seedless plants
- 11. Have fronds; range in size from few centimeters to several meters; often houseplants or grown in gardens
- 14. Transports materials throughout a plant
- 16. Leaves of ferns (a seedless plant) that makes up most of the ferns
- 17. Horn like reproductive structures, produce spores, they are only 2.5 centimeters in diameter; each of its photosynthetic cells has one chloroplast
