| xylem | vessels that transport water and minerals up from the roots |
| palisade layer | part of the leaf where most food is produced |
| stoma | opening in the leaf where materials pass in and out of the leaf |
| phloem | vessel that transports food made in the leaf to other parts of the plant |
| cuticle | waxy coating on the upper epidermis |
| guard cells | controls the size of the stomata |
| spongy layer | located between the palisade layer and the lower epidermis |
| epidermis | protects the leaf on top and bottom |
| stem | supports plant, stores food, and allows movement of materials |
| roots | anchors plant, stores food, and aloows water and minerals to enter |
| leaves | traps sunlight and makes food |
| function | a job a part does |
| tap roots | thickened roots that store food |
| fibrous roots | branched and spreading that go deep |
| compact roots | close to the surface and absorb water quickly |
| autotrophs | make their own food - producers |
| heterotrophs | must consume other organisms for food - consumers |
| vascular plant | plant that contains xylem and phloem |
| nonvascular plant | plant lacks tubelike vessels to transport water, minerals, and food |
| angiosperms | vascular plant in which the seed is enclosed and protected inside a fruit |
| gymnosperms | vascular plants that produces seeds on cones |
