| accessory pigment | plant chemical other than chlorophyll that also absorbs light energy |
| angiosperm | vascular, flowering plant whose seeds develop inside the ovary, which matures into a fruit; monocots and dicots |
| asexual reproduction | process by which a single organism produces an offspring that is genetically identical to the parent |
| bark | outside part of a woody stem, made up of the phloem, cork, cambium, and cork layers |
| Cotyledon | Tiny, leafy structure found in angiosperm embryos; provides food for the sprouting plant until it can perform photosynthesis |
| Dicot | (shortened form of dicotyledon) a plant whose seeds contain two cotyledons; one of the two classes of angiosperms |
| Cambium | one- or two-celled-thick layer of tissue in a woody stem, between the xylem and the phloem, that produces new cells |
| Cell wall | rigid structure surrounding the cell membrane of plant cells that provides support |
| Chlorophyll | green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that absorbs light energy for use in photosynthesis |
| Chloroplast | structure in a cell that contains chlorophyll; site of photosynthesis |
| Chromosome | Threadlike structure of protein and genetic material in the cell nucleus that conveys hereditary characteristics from one generation to the next. |
| Cone | Reproductive structure that carries and protects the seeds of a gymnosperm. |
| Cork cambium | Layer of a woody stem between the phloem and the cork that produces new cork cells. |
| cork | outermost layer of a woody stem, made up of protective cells |
