| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Adaptation | The action or process of adapting or being adapted. |
| Alternation of Generations | A pattern of reproduction occurring in the life cycles of many lower plants and some invertebrates, involving a regular alternation between two distinct forms. The generations are alternately sexual and asexual |
| Colonial | (of animals or plants) living in colonies. |
| Dicots | The dicotyledons, also known as dicots, was a grouping formerly used for the flowering plants whose seed typically has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. |
| 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 developing seed. |
| Flowers | the seed-bearing part of a plant, consisting of reproductive organs (stamens and carpels) that are typically surrounded by a brightly colored corolla (petals) and a green calyx (sepals). |
| Fruit | the sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. |
| Leaves | a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and bladelike, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk. Leaves are the main organs of photosynthesis and transpiration. |
| Monocots | a flowering plant with an embryo that bears a single cotyledon (seed leaf). Monocotyledons constitute the smaller of the two great divisions of flowering plants. |
| Multicellular | An organism or part) having or consisting of many cells. |
| Pollen | a fine powdery substance, typically yellow, consisting of microscopic grains discharged from the male part of a flower or from a male cone. Each grain contains a male gamete that can fertilize the female ovule, which is transported by insects & birds |
| Seeds | a flowering plant's unit of reproduction, capable of developing into another such plant. |
| Unicellular | (of an evolutionary or developmental stage) characterized by the formation or presence of a single cell or cells. |
| Vascular Tissue | the tissue in higher plants that constitutes the vascular system, consisting of phloem and xylem, by which water and nutrients are conducted throughout the plant. |
