| cortex | connects the epidermis with the inner core of the root. |
| xylem cells | connecting tubes that carry water and minerals from the soil upward |
| phloem cells | tubes that carry nutrients from the leaves through the stem and down to the root. |
| root hairs | take in water and minerals |
| root cap | pushes the root through the soil |
| root | support for the plant under the ground |
| stem | partof the plant that connects its roots and its leaves |
| leaf | the factory making part of the plant |
| xylem and phoem cells | the transport system of the plant |
| upper epidermis | cell layer that protects the leaf from drying out |
| palisade layer | column like cells where food making occurs |
| spongy layer | loosely packed cells where food making occurs and where the veins are located |
| vein | bundle of cells that contain xylem cells for the transport of water and phloem cells for the transport of sugar and other nutrients |
| lower epidermis | cell layer that protects the leaf and allows for the exchange of gasses |
| flower | the reproductive part of a flowering plant |
| petals | colorful, showy parts of the flower |
| pistel | the female part of the flower that is made up of the stigma, style, and ovary |
