What is the Cotyledon?
100

What are the root hairs?
100
The first structure to emerge from the seed.
What is the root?
100
The plant structure that contains a young plant inside a protective coating.
What is a seed?
100

What is germination?
200
I am the underground part of a plant that functions as an organ to take up water and minerals, store food and anchor the plant.
What is the root?
200
Hollow tubes that transport water.
What is the xylem?
200
Tiny extensions that increase surface area, primary function is to bring in water.
What are the root hairs?
200
The young plant within the seed.
What is the embryo?
200
On some dicots, we are the second step in germination, pushing out of the ground and turning green through photosynthesis.
What are seed leaves?
300
I am a water highway created from dead cells and I reach into every cell in the plant.
What is the xylem?
300
First area where the cells develop into long channels that will act like pipes to carry water upward.
What is the zone of elongation?
300
Protects the tip of the root from injury as it pushes through the abrasive soil.
What is the root cap?
300
The inactive stage in an organism, capable of becoming active.
What is dormant?
300

400
Influences the growth pattern in roots.
What is the amount of rainfall?
400
Area where cells are actively dividing.
What is the root tip?
400
Tough almost airtight covering
What is the seed coat?
400
I am made of long connected cells and transport water & minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
What is the xylem?
500
I am the system that transports all the food, water and minerals to all parts of the plant.
What is the vascular system?
500
Receives most of its moisture from fog and misty rains.
What is the coastal redwood?
500
Area where the root cells are fully grown, elongated, and many have developed roots hairs.
What is the zone of maturation?
500
Supplies energy in the form of endosperm.
What is the cotyledon?
500
