| Shoot System | The combination of a plant’s stem and leaves (above-ground portions) |
| Root | Plant organ; function is support, anchorage, growth and nutrient absorption |
| Stem | Plant organ; main axis, holding the majority of the vascular tissue |
| Node | Location where leaves and stems connect |
| Internode | Area between the nodes of the stem |
| Leaf | Plant organ; primarily responsible for photosynthesis |
| Blade | Widest portion or section of the leaf or foliage |
| Petiole | Portion of the leaf that attaches to the stem |
| Axillary Bud | Miniature leaves emerging from the petiole or node |
| Epidermal Tissue | Outer, protective tissue of the plant |
| Ground Tissue | Interior, support and lining tissues of the plant |
| Vascular Tissue | Transporting tissue and material of the plant |
| Parenchyma | Type of ground tissue; filler and storage cells in root and stem tissue |
| Collenchyma | Type of ground tissue; cellulose-storing cells |
| Sclerenchyma | Type of ground tissue,; majority of structural support cells |
| Taproot | The dominant root of the plant |
| Adventitious roots | Roots that originate from the stem above the soil |
| Mycorrhizas | Root and fungus symbiosis, used to extract water and nutrients |
| Root nodules | Portions of root tissue used for nitrogen extraction |
| Stolon | Horizontal stems found above the ground |
| Rhizome | Horizontal stems found below the ground |
| Corm | Underground bulb stems |
| Peduncle | Stalk of the flower; supports the flower structure |
| Calyx | Combination the sepals and petals, protecting the gonads of the flower |
| Sepal | The green, leafy petals below the colorful, attractive petals |
| Petal | Colorful tissue of the flower that attracts pollinators |
| Stamen | Male gonads of the flower |
| Filament | Stalk of the stamen, holding the anther |
| Anther | Sac of the stamen, holding the pollen grains of the plant |
| Carpel | Female gonads of the flower |
| Ovary | Female gametes of the flower |
| Style | Extension of the carpel between the ovary and stigma |
| Stigma | Sticky receptor for the carpel to collect pollen grains |
