Across
- 2. Undifferentiated cells found in the growing regions of plants that are responsible for cell division and growth.
- 3. Cells with thick, lignified cell walls that provide rigid support to plant structures.
- 6. The stalk that attaches a leaf to the stem of a plant.
- 8. A type of meristem that produces new cells for secondary growth, leading to the thickening of stems and roots.
- 9. The underground part of a plant that anchors it in the soil, absorbs water and nutrients, and stores food
- 10. Simple plant cells that are involved in photosynthesis, storage, and support.
- 12. A complex tissue responsible for water and mineral transport from roots to other parts of the plant.
- 13. Another complex tissue involved in the transport of organic compounds, such as sugars, throughout the plant.
- 14. Slender extensions of root epidermal cells that increase the surface area for absorption of water and minerals.
Down
- 1. Hair-like structures on the surface of leaves, stems, and other plant parts that serve various functions like protection, water retention, and secretion.
- 4. Elongated cells with thickened cell walls that provide flexible support to growing plant parts.
- 5. The outermost layer of cells that covers the surface of leaves, stems, and roots.
- 7. Specialized cells that control the opening and closing of stomata.
- 11. Small openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and stems that allow gas exchange and regulate water loss.
- 15. The main structural axis of a plant that provides support and transports water, nutrients, and sugars between roots and leaves.
