- annual
- a plant that completes its life cycle within one growing season
- fruit
- a ripened ovary that encloses to protect a seed or seeds
- gymnosperm
- a plant whos seeds are not contained in an ovary
- xylem
- plant vascular tissue that carris water and minerals from the roots up through a plant and that also helps support a plant
- root
- a structure in vascular plants whose main functions are typically absoration and anchorage
- biennal
- a plant that completes its life cycle in two years
- lower epidermis
- bottom part of the leaf
- stem
- a structure in vascular plants whose main fuctions are to carry materials between the roots and leaves to support the plant transportation tubes can be herbacious and woody
- ovule
- structure in a female cone or flower that contains an egg cell and develops into a seed
- cone
- in plants a reproductive structure of a gymnosperm
- nonvascular
- a plant that lacks vascular tissue

- cuticle
- shiny waxy party of a leaf; waterproof covering
- seed parts
- embryo, seed coat, and stored food ( cotlydon
- pollination
- the process by which pollen is carried from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures
- photosynthesis
- the food making process that involves chlorophyll in which light energy is used to make food (glucose) from carbon and water
- vascular
- a plant that has vascular tissue
- pollen
- tiny grains produced by male cones and flowers that house the cells that later become sperm cells
- petal
- a colorful leaflike flower structure that sures to attract pollinators
- flower
- a reproductive structure of an angiosperm
- tropism
- in plants, the growth of a plant toward or away from a stimulus
- upper epidermis
- outermost, top part of a leaf
- stamen
- a male reproductive organ in a flower which consits of a filament topped by a pollen producing anther
- angiosperm
- a plant whos seeds are contained in an ovary
