Seedless Vascular

Plants such as ferns and horsetails that lack seeds but have structures for water and nutrient transport.

Xylem

Plant tissue responsible for carrying water from roots to other plant parts.

Phloem

Plant tissue that transports nutrients and carbohydrates, like glucose, produced from photosynthesis.

Gymnosperms

Plants that grow back and get bigger each year.

Tap Root

Primary root with smaller roots branching off, characteristic of plants like carrots.

Fibrous Root

Root system with many equally sized roots, common in grasses.

Root Hairs

Extensions increasing surface area for nutrient absorption, containing active transport proteins.

Root Cap

Protective structure at the root tip, safeguarding the growing point of the root.

Seed

Plant embryo and food supply

Monocots
