| Dicot | an angiosperm with two cotyledons in each seed |
| Embryo | the immature plant inside a seed |
| Seed Coat | the outer covering of a seed |
| Germination | the process where a seed or spore begins to sprout, grow or develop, usually after it has been dormate for a time while waiting for the right growing conditions |
| Spore | cell in seedless plant that grows into new organisms |
| Frond | the leaf of a fern |
| Xylem | tissue through which water and minerals move up through a plant |
| Phloem | tissue through which food from the leaves moves down through a plant |
