| 2 characteristics of seed plants | vascular tissue and use seeds to reproduce |
| phloem | food moves through this tube |
| xylem | water and nutrients move through this tube |
| seeds | structures that contain a young plant inside a protective covering |
| 3 important parts of a seed | embryo, stored food, seed coat |
| embryo | the beginning of the growing seed |
| cotyledons | outer covering of a seed |
| germination | early growth stage of the seed |
| photosynthesis | leaves capture the sun's energy and carry out the food-making process of this process. |
| stomata | the underside of the leaf that has small openings that let gases in and out |
| transpiration | process which water evaporates from the stomata |
| stems do... | hold the leaves up and provides support for the plant |
| cambium | inside the stem is a layer of cells called this |
| roots | anchor a plant in the ground and absorb water and nutrients from the soil |
| root cap | protects the root from injury from rocks and other material as the rot grows through the soil |
