| Anther | the pollen-bearing part at the upper end of the stamen of a flower. |
| Egg | the female sex cell in plants. |
| Fertilization | the stage in the life cycle of a flowering plant in which the sperm cell (pollen) joins with an egg cell in the ovule. |
| Filament | the stalk of the stamen which supports the anther. |
| Germination | the stage in the life cycle of a flowering plant in which the seed sprouts and begins to grow. |
| Ovary | the base of the pistil of a flower that contains the ovules. |
| Ovule | the part of the ovary of seed plants that contains the egg cell and after fertilization becomes the seed. |
| Pistil | the female part of flower that consists of the stigma, style, and ovary. |
| Plant development | the stage in the life cycle of a flowering plant in which the seedling develops to maturity (producing flowers). |
| Pollen | the male sex cells in plants. |
| Pollination | the transfer of pollen from the stamen to the pistil of a plant. |
| Runners | a type of vegetative propagation in which long thin stems grow horizontally along the ground and produce new plants. |
| Seed production | the stage in the life cycle of a flowering plant in which the fertilized ovule develops into a seed. |
| Stamen | the male part of a flower that consists of the anther and filament. |
| Stem cuttings | a type of vegetative propagation in which a piece of the stem of the “mother” plant is cut off and planted to become a new plant. |
| Stigma | the sticky top of the pistil where pollen grains land. |
| Style | a stalk on the pistil down which the pollen tube grows after pollination has taken place. |
| Tubers/Bulbs | a type of vegetative propagation in which underground stems grow into roots and shoots to produce new plants. |
| Vegetative propagation | a type of asexual reproduction that some plants use to produce new plants from existing plant parts. |
