Shoot System
Includes organs such as leaves, buds, stems, flowers, and fruits and usually it develops above ground
Shoot System
Large, central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally
Taproot
A protecting film covering the epidermis of leaves, young shoots and other aerial plant organs without periderm
Cuticle
Transport tissue in vascular plants
Xylem
Plants that have no persistent woody stem above ground
Herbaceous Plants
Hold one or more leaves, as well as buds which can grow into branches
Node
Extend horizontally from the primary root and serve to anchor the plant securely into the soil
Lateral Roots
A pore, found in the epidermis of leaves, stems, and other organs, that facilitates gas exchange
Stomata
Tissues in plants that conduct foods made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant
Phloem
A plant that lives more than two years
Perennial
The stem region between two nodes
Internodes
Formed by thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem
Fibrous Roots
Protects the soft tissues of plants and controls interactions with the plants' surroundings.
Dermal Tissue System
Long, thin cells that have perforated ends called sieve plates
Sieve tube elements
A membrane-bound organelle
Vacuoles
Small lateral or terminal protuberance on the stem of a vascular plant that may develop into a flower, leaf, or shoot
Buds
Continuous growth
Indeterminate Growth
Were most carbohydrate storage takes place
Ground Tissue System
Not conducting cells
Companion Cells
Organelles that conduct photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
Made up of a blade and a petiole
Simple Leaf
The stalk that joins a leaf to a stem
Petiole
Vascular tissue, epidermal tissue, ground tissue, meristematic tissue
Tissue
Openings in the end walls that lack both primary and secondary cell walls
Perforations
Refers to some of the changes in an organism's behavior, morphology and physiology in response to a unique environment
Phenotypic Plasticity
