|---|---|
| Unicellular | Consisting of a single cell |
| Colonial | of, concerning, or pertaining to a colony or colonies |
| Filamentous | composed of or containing filaments. |
| Cellulose | the chief constituent of the cell walls of plants and of wood, cotton, hemp, paper, etc. |
| Diatoms | any of numerous microscopic, unicellular, marine or freshwater algae of the phylum Chrysophyta, having cell walls containing silica. |
| Dinoflagellates | any of numerous chiefly marine plankton of the phylum Pyrrophyta (or, in some classification schemes, the order Dinoflagellata), usually having two flagella, one in a groove around the body and the other extending from its centre. |
| adaption | any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in its environment. |
| alternation of generations | the alternation in an organism's life cycle of dissimilar reproductive forms, especially the alternation of sexual with asexual reproduction. |
| dicots | a dicotyledon. |
| enclosed seeds | Enclosed seeds are produced by angiosperms. Their ovules are enclosed by an ovary, a structure within the flower. As the seed ripens, the ovary enlarges and forms a fruit, which provides some protection for the developĀing seed. |
| flowers | the part of a seed plant comprising the reproductive organs and their envelopes if any, especially when such envelopes are more or less conspicuous in form and color |
| fruit | any product of plant growth useful to humans or animals. |
| leaves | one of the expanded, usually green organs borne by the stem of a plant. |
| monocots | a monocotyledon. |
| multicellular | composed of several or many cells. |
| pollen | the fertilizing element of flowering plants, consisting of fine, powdery, yellowish grains or spores, sometimes in masses. |
| roots | a part of the body of a plant that develops, typically, from the radicle and grows downward into the soil, anchoring the plant and absorbing nutriment and moisture. |
| seeds | the fertilized, matured ovule of a flowering plant, containing an embryo or rudimentary plant. |
| stems | the ascending axis of a plant, whether above or below ground, which ordinarily grows in an opposite direction to the root or descending axis. |
| vascular tissue | plant tissue consisting of ducts or vessels, that, in the higher plants, forms the system (vascular system) by which sap is conveyed through the plant. |
