Flower Parts

4. area where an ovary or fruit is matured after fertilization
7. nutrient storage which lies between the vascular tissues and the center of the plant root or stem
8. outer parts of the flower which are often green and appear leaf-like
9. Flower- flower lacking one or more of the structures including sepals, petals, stamen and pistil
11. actual plant itself, the young developing leaves, stem and roots
15. area inside the epidermis which houses vascular tissues
16. part of the embryo which is the transition from the growing stem and root
17. first root which develops from the seed, develops into the primary root
18. Hairs- extensions of root epidermal cells which increase the surface area of a root to help the plant absorb more water and minerals
19. outermost one-cell layer of dermal tissue on plant structures which surround and protect the plant
22. section of the stamen where pollen is created
23. first leaves which appear above the ground after germination
26. support or stalk of the anther
27. tiny stem of an embryo which will develop into the entire shoot system
28. carries sugars from the site of photosynthesis to other parts of the plant

1. area of a flower where and ovule is produced, fertilized and germinated
2. base of the pistil where the ovule is produced
3. made up of the anther and filament
5. Flower- flowers which contain sepals, petals, stamen and pistil
6. small opening in the epidermis which allows gas flow in and out of plant cells
8. Coat- outer coat of a seed which protects the young growing plant
10. internal dermal layer which separates the vascular bundles and cortex
12. outermost section of a flower which is often a bright color to attract pollinators
13. Cap- hard structure which protects the end of the growing root as it pushes through the soil
14. stalk which separates the stigma and pistil
20. tissue made of starch to help the plant begin with development, especially seen in corn and wheat
21. area where pollen is germinated
24. stalk of the flower where it is connected to a stem
25. transports water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant
