| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cuticle | a protective and waxy or hard layer covering the epidermis of a plant, invertebrate, or shell. |
| 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. |
| zygote | a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum. |
| vegetative reprodution | Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent. |
| nonvascular plant | Nonvascular plants belong to the division Bryophyta, which includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These plants have no vascular tissue, so the plants cannot retain water or deliver it to other parts of the plant body. |
| vascular plan | Vascular plants, also known as tracheophytes and also higher plants, form a large group of plants that are defined as those land plants that have lignified tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant. |
| sporophyte | in the life cycle of plants with alternating generations) the asexual and usually diploid phase, producing spores from which the gametophyte arises. |
| gametophyte | in the life cycle of plants with alternating generations) the gamete-producing and usually haploid phase, producing the zygote from which the sporophyte arises. |
