Across
- 2. Above-ground portion of a young plant, including the stem, leaves, and growing tip.
- 3. Colorful, often modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of the flower, attracting pollinators.
- 5. Sweet liquid produced by flowers, attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
- 7. Protective outer parts of a flower, often green and resembling small leaves, enclosing and supporting the flower bud.
- 8. The underground part of the plant that absorbs water and nutrients from the soil, providing support and stability.
- 9. Photosynthetic organs that capture sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sugars for the plant.
- 13. Reproductive structures that produce seeds through pollination and fertilization, often attracting pollinators.
- 14. Seed leaf that provides nutrients to the developing plant embryo, usually the first leaves to appear after germination.
Down
- 1. Fine powder produced by male parts of a flower, essential for fertilizing the female parts and producing seeds.
- 2. The main structural axis of the plant, supporting leaves, flowers, and fruits, and transporting water and nutrients.
- 4. Male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of an anther and filament, producing pollen.
- 6. Green pigment in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis, capturing sunlight energy to convert into chemical energy.
- 10. Mature fertilized ovule capable of developing into a new plant under suitable conditions.
- 11. Tissues Specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) that transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant.
- 12. Female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary, receiving pollen for fertilization.
- 13. Mature ovary of a flowering plant containing seeds, often developing from the fertilized ovule after pollination.
