Blade
Identify the tissue that transports water and minerals upward and contributes to wood formation in woody plants.
Xylem
What is the male reproductive part of a flower called (name the whole structure)?
Stamen - includes the anther and filament
Give one primary function of roots besides anchoring the plant.
Nutrient absorption (or storage) — both acceptable
Which type of plant has both male and female flowers on the same plant?
Monocots
Explain two ways leaves help regulate plant temperature or protect the plant (give two distinct functions listed in the materials).
