Down
- 2. roots that grow from places other than the main root and aid in propagation
- 3. growing point that can develop into a leaf or flower
- 5. tissue that transports water and nutrients up the plant
- 7. tiny structures that absorb water and nutrients from the soil
- 8. shallow, dense root system that helps prevent soil erosion
- 10. small openings in leaves used for gas exchange and transpiration
- 13. plant part that supports leaves and flowers and transports materials
