Cuticle | A protecting film covering the epidermis of leaves |
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’. |
