Plant Types
This type of plant does not make seeds and reproduces using spores.
Seedless plants
This plant part absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
Roots
This type of tropism is when a plant grows toward light.
Phototropism
Plants use this energy source to make their food.
Sunlight
The process plants use to make food is called this.
Photosynthesis
These plants make seeds and include flowering plants and trees.
Seeded plants
This part of the plant makes food using sunlight.
Leaves
This tropism is when roots grow downward due to gravity.
Gravitropism (geotropism)
This gas from the air is used during photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide
This is the movement of water through a plant and out the leaves.
Transpiration
Ferns and mosses are examples of this plant category.
Seedless plants
This structure moves water up from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Stem
This happens when a plant grows toward water.
Hydrotropism
This green pigment helps plants capture light energy.
Chlorophyll
This tissue carries water from roots to leaves.
Xylem
This part of a seed helps a new plant grow into a baby plant.
Embryo
This part of the plant helps with reproduction and often becomes fruit.
Flower
If a plant bends toward a window, this is an example of this.
Phototropism
This sugar is made by plants during photosynthesis.
Glucose
This tissue carries food (sugar) through the plant.
Phloem
Plants that produce seeds inside fruit are called this type of plant.
Flowering plants (angiosperms)
This system includes roots and helps anchor the plant in place.
Root system
This is the general word for a plant’s growth response to a stimulus.
Tropisms
This gas is released into the air during photosynthesis.
Oxygen
This is when a seed begins to grow into a new plant.
Germination
