| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Adaptation | trait with a current functional role in the life history of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection. |
| 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 | having become established in a community in a new environment |
| Dicots | A group of flowering plants belonging to the class Magnoliopsida of Angiospermae (angiosperms), characterized by having two photosynthetic cotyledons in the seed that may emerge from the ground when the seed germinates. |
| Enclosed seeds | Enclosed seeds are produced by angiosperms. Their ovules are enclosed by an ovary, a structure within the flower. |
| Flowers | Flowers are plant structures involved in sexual reproduction. Thus, they are typically comprised of sexual reproductive structures (i.e. androecium and gynoecium) in addition to nonessential parts such as sepals and petals. |
| Fruit | the sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. |
| Leaves | a coloured, usually green, expansion growing from the side of a stem or rootstock, in which the sap for the use of the plant is elaborated under the influence of light; one of the parts of a plant which collectively constitute its foliage. |
| Monocots | Any of a class of angiosperm plants having a single cotyledon in the seed. Monocotyledons have leaves with parallel veins, flower parts in multiples of three, and fibrous root systems. |
| 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. |
| 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 | Consisting of a single cell |
| 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. |
