Across
- 5. growth of plant parts based on gravity
- 7. producing a new plant from a parent plant
- 9. bud that allows a stem to grow in length
- 10. thread-like projection from a plant root
- 11. internally produced chemical messengers that affect plant growth and development
- 12. roots that grow from an unexpected region of a plant
- 14. underground, enlarged food storing stem covered by papery leaves
- 15. orientation of a plant in relation to light
- 18. process of transplanting living tissue from one plant to another
- 21. what woody stems are covered with
- 22. vascular tissue that conducts water and inorganic materials
- 23. horizontal, underground stems
- 25. phloem cells connected end to end to conduct food through a woody plant
- 27. plant growth responses to environmental conditions
Down
- 1. stems that wrap around objects to help support the plant as it continues to grow
- 2. growth of a stem in length
- 3. outer layer of a root and the whole plant
- 4. single main stalk-like root
- 6. vascular tissue that conducts organic material made by the plant
- 8. covers the tip of the root
- 13. region of stem between nodes
- 16. support structure for a plant
- 17. layer that separates xylem and phloem layers
- 19. region of stem where leaves or branches arise
- 20. layer under the epidermis
- 24. horizontal, above ground stems that produce buds and roots at the nodes
