Plant Tissue

2. Outermost layer protecting plants and regulating water loss.
3. Innermost layer of the cortex in plant roots.
7. Waxy layer on the surface of leaves and stems.
9. Tiny hair-like extensions of plant roots absorbing water and nutrients.
10. Simple plant tissue with thin-walled cells, often involved in photosynthesis.
13. Vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals.
14. Waterproof strip preventing water movement through the endodermal cell walls.
16. Small pores in leaves allowing gas exchange and transpiration.

1. Plant tissue giving rise to lateral roots and secondary growth.
4. Plant tissue providing support, often with thick, lignified walls.
5. Vascular tissue responsible for transporting sugars and other organic compounds.
6. Photosynthetic tissue in the interior of leaves.
7. Plant tissue providing flexible support to young, growing parts.
8. Tissue that produces new vascular and cork cells in plants.
11. Tissue between the epidermis and vascular tissues in plants.
12. Pertaining to the specialized tissues that transport water and nutrients.
15. The solid surface of the Earth, often used for planting.
