🗑
Plant embryo   A plant in the early stages of development: in higher plants, the plumule, cotyledons, and radicle within the seed.  
🗑
Stomata   Permit the absorption of carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis from the air, as well as the removal of oxygen.  
🗑
Root cap   A section of tissue at the tip of a plant root.  
🗑
Cambium   The tissue that allows the plant to get wider.  
🗑
Xylem   Carries water and nutrients up the stem to all parts of plant.  
🗑
Phloem   Carries food for the plant.  
🗑
Bulbs   Underground food storage - stores food over the winter and provides a new plant with food until it can make its own. Have thick fleshy ‘layers’.  
🗑
Fibrous root   Roots that branch out from stem and get water from the surface of the earth. Usually found in monocots.  
🗑
Tap root   One main root that grows downward with smaller roots branching out. Get water form deep in the water. Usually found in dicots.

🗑
Seed coat   The protective outer coat of a seed.  
🗑

🗑
Spongy layer   Between the palisade layer and lower epidermis; it contains vascular tissue and has air spaces for gases to pass through  
🗑
Cotyedon   an embryonic leaf in seed-bearing plants, one or more of which are the first leaves to appear from a germinating seed.  
🗑
Angiosperm   a plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel. The angiosperms are a large group and include herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most trees.
