| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Adaptation | a change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment. |
| Alteration 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. |
| colonial | refers to individual organisms of the same species living closely together, usually for mutual benefit, such as stronger defense or the ability to attack bigger prey. |
| dicots | a flowering plant with an embryo that bears two cotyledon |
| enclosed seeds | ovules are enclosed by an ovary |
| flowers | the seed-bearing part of a plant, consisting of reproductive organs |
| 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, and typically have elongated stalkless leaves with parallel veins |
| multicellular | 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 |
| roots | the part of a plant that attaches it to the ground or to a support, typically underground, conveying water and nourishment to the rest of the plant via numerous branches and fibers |
| seeds | a flowering plant's unit of reproduction, capable of developing into another such plant. |
| stems | the main body or stalk of a plant or shrub, typically rising above ground but occasionally subterranean. |
| unicellular | single cell organism |
| 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. |
