|---|---|
| A modified leaf of a flowering plant. Petals are the often colorful parts of a flower that advertise it to insects and other pollinators | Petals |
| The pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of an anther and a filament. | Stamens |
| The ovule-producing reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary. | Carpels |
| In an angiosperm, the terminal pollen sac of a stamen, where pollen grains containing sperm-producing male gametophytes form. | Anther |
| The stalk of a flower's carpel, with the ovary at the base and the stigma at the top. | Style |
| The sticky part of a flower's carpel, which receives pollen grains. | Stigma |
| A single carpel or a group of fused carpels. | Pistil |
| A group of flowers tightly clustered together. | Inflorescence |
| A tube that forms after germination of the pollen grain and that functions in the delivery of sperm to the ovule. | Pollen tube |
| The transfer of pollen to the part of a seed plant containing the ovules, a process required for fertilization. | Pollination |
| A condition typified by extremely low metabolic rate and a suspension of growth and development. | Dormancy |
| In an angiosperm embryo, the embryonic axis below the point of attachment of the cotyledon(s) and above the radicle. | Hypocotyl |
| An embryonic root of a plant. | Radicle |
| The covering of the young shoot of the embryo of a grass seed. | Coleoptile |
| The physical adsorption of water onto the internal surfaces of structures. | Imbibition |
| A fruit derived from a single carpel or several fused carpels. | Simple fruit |
| A fruit derived from a single flower that has more than one carpel. | Aggregate fruit |
| A fruit derived from an entire inflorescence. | Multiple fruit |
| A fruit, or assemblage of fruits, in which the fleshy parts are derived largely or entirely from tissues other than the ovary. | Accessory fruit |
