| Primary growth | occurs close to the tips of root & stems, initiated by apical meristems, longitudinal growth; produces primary tissue |
| Secondary growth | thickens stems & roots, initiated by lateral meristems, vascular cambium & cork cambium; produces secondary xylem & phloem, periderm |
| Types of plant cells | dermal tissue, vascular tissue, & ground tissue |
| Dermal tissue | protective covering |
| Vascular tissue | conducting tissues, xylem & phloem |
| Ground tissue | surrounds vascular tissue |
| Microphylls | small leaves that contain only a single strand of vascular tissue (MAIN VEIN) |
