Plant Structures

2. Reproductive structure of an angiosperm
3. Protects the seeds as they develop
5. Waxy layers that help plant reduces water loss
8. Slender tube, connects the stigma to a hollow structure at the base of the flower
9. Usually the most colorful parts of the flower, pollinators are attracted to their color and sent
10. Type of stem that is hard and rigid, like in most trees.
11. Tissue that produces new xylem and phloem
12. Occurs when the embryo begins to grow again and pushing out of the seed
14. Protects the root as it grows through the soil
15. Capture the sun’s energy and carry out the food-making process of photosynthesis
16. Leaflike parts of a flower, protect the developing flower
17. Scattering of seeds by either animals or the wind
23. Old, inactive xylem that helps support the tree
25. Vascular tissue that transports water; also known as sapwood in trees
27. Male reproductive part of a flower
28. Outer bark that protects the cells inside

1. Hard to pull out of the ground, Cacti are examples
2. Consists of many similarly sized roots, forming a dense tangled mass, Onions are examples
4. Fertilized egg
5. Structures in which food is made
6. Pores that control when gases enter of leave the leaf
7. Type of stem that is often soft, example ivy
13. The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures
16. Acts like plastic wrap, protecting the embryo and its food from drying out
18. The young plant that develops from the zygote
19. Female reproductive part of a flower
20. Represent a year of growth in a tree, made from xylem
21. Anchor a plant in the ground, absorb water and minerals from the soil, and sometimes store food
22. Vascular tissue that transports food
24. carries substances between the plant's roots and leaves, provides support for the plant
26. Pollen is produced here
