| An alignment of cytoskeletal elements and Golgi-derived vesicles that forms across the midline of a dividing plant cell. | phragmoplast |
| Alternate name for land plants that refers to their shared derived trait of multicellular, dependent embryos. | embryophyte |
| A diploid cell, also known as a spore mother cell, that undergoes meiosis and generates haploid spores. | sporocyte |
| In plants, the male gametangium, a moist chamber in which gametes develop. | antheridium |
| Plant tissue consisting of cells joined into tubes that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant body. | vascular tissue |
| An informal name for a member of the phylum Lycophyta, which includes club mosses, spike mosses, and quillworts. | lycophyte |
| A vascular plant that bears naked seeds—seeds not enclosed in protective chambers. | gymnosperm |
| A mass of green, branched, one-cell-thick filaments produced by germinating moss spores. | protonema |
| A ring of interlocking, tooth-like structures on the upper part of a moss capsule (sporangium), often specialized for gradual spore discharge. | peristome |
| Vascular plant tissue consisting mainly of tubular dead cells that conduct most of the water and minerals upward from the roots to the rest of the plant. | xylem |
| Vascular plant tissue consisting of living cells arranged into elongated tubes that transport sugar and other organic nutrients throughout the plant. | phloem |
| In lycophytes, a small leaf with a single unbranched vein. See megaphyll. | microphyll |
| A modified leaf that bears sporangia and hence is specialized for reproduction. | sporophyll |
| A spore from a heterosporous plant species that develops into a female gametophyte. | megaspore |
