This is the outermost protective tissue layer in plants.

  • Answer: What is dermal tissue?
100

These roots are typically found in monocots and branch extensively.

  • Answer: What are fibrous roots?
100

These are points on a stem where leaves or branches attach.

  • Answer: What are nodes?
100

The flat, light-absorbing part of a leaf.

  • Answer: What is the blade?
100

The primary function of leaves, where sunlight is used to produce food for the plant.

  • Answer: What is photosynthesis?
200

This tissue type is responsible for transporting water from roots to leaves.

  • Answer: What is xylem?
200

 This thick primary root is usually found in dicots and grows deep into the soil.

  • Answer: What is a taproot?
200

The tissue bundles containing both xylem and phloem.

  • Answer: What are vascular bundles?
200

The stalk that connects the leaf blade to the stem.

  • Answer: What is the petiole?
200

This is the process by which plants lose water through leaves, which helps pull water up from roots.

  • Answer: What is transpiration?
300

This tissue transports nutrients and is made of living cells called sieve tube elements.

  • Answer: What is phloem?
300

Tiny root extensions that increase surface area for absorbing water and nutrients.

  • Answer: What are root hairs?
300

The part of the stem that is between two nodes.

  • Answer: What is an internode?
300

Openings in the leaf surface that allow gas exchange.

  • Answer: What are stomata?
300

The process in which plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

  • Answer: What is gas exchange?
400

This type of ground tissue has thin walls and stores food in plants.

  • Answer: What is parenchyma?
400

This part of the root is made of ground tissue and stores food.

  • Answer: What is the cortex?
400

This type of stem has vascular bundles arranged in a ring pattern, typically found in dicots.

  • Answer: What is a dicot stem?
400

The leaf cells packed tightly together to absorb sunlight.

  • Answer: What is palisade mesophyll?
400

This type of tissue is responsible for producing new growth at the tips of shoots and roots.

  • Answer: What is meristematic tissue?
500

This plant tissue produces new cells for growth through mitosis.

  • Answer: What is meristematic tissue?
500

This root layer surrounds the vascular tissue and helps protect it.

  • Answer: What is the endodermis?
500

Small growth points that can develop into new stems or leaves.

  • Answer: What are buds?
500

The cells surrounding the stomata, which control their opening and closing.

  • Answer: What are guard cells?
500


Movement of nutrients, especially sugars, through the phloem from sources (like leaves) to sinks (like roots or growing tissues) in a plant.
