Across
- 2. Serves as a vital cellular layer that connects environmental signals and the internal vascular system
- 5. A specialized, hydrophobic outer layer covering aerial surfaces of land plants
- 6. The tissue in the plant vascular system used for the transport of organic materials
- 9. Specialized plant cells that form a protective layer surrounding the vascular bundles in leaves
- 11. Microscopic pores on plant surfaces that regulate gas exchange and water loss
Down
- 1. Pairs of epidermal cells on plant leaves
- 3. Serve as a major focal point for boosting crop yield
- 4. The outermost layer of cells covering the plant body
- 7. Flat part of a plant that performs photosynthesis
- 8. Modifies the water-conducting vascular tissue to improve crop yield and stress resilience
- 10. The central, spongy tissue found in the stems of vascular plants
