| vacuole | A sac-like organelle that stores water, food, and other materials. |
| cuticle | The waxy, waterproof layer that covers the leaves and stems of most plants. |
| vascular tissue | The interanal transporting tissue in some plants that is made up of tube like structures that carry water, food, and minerals. |
| Non vascular Plant | A low growing plant that lacks true vascular tissue for transporting materials. |
| Rhizoid | A thin root like structure that anchors a moss and absorbs water and nutrients for the plant. |
| Vascular Plant | A plant that has true vascular tissue for transporting materials. |
| Phloem | The vascular tissue through which food moves in some plants. |
| Xylem | The vascular tissue through which water and minerals move in some plants. |
| Frond | The leaf of a fern plant. |
| Pollen | Tiny structure produced by seed plants that contain the cell that later becomes the sperm cell. |
