Chrlorophyll

Stomata

Xylem

tubes in plants and that carry water from the roots to the leaves

Phloem

tubes in plants that carry food (sugar) from the leaves to the rest of the plant

Transpiration

Adaptation

a trait that helps an organism survive in its environment

vascular plants

plants that have tubes (xylem and phloem) to move water and nutrients

seedless vascular plants

(ferns) vascular plants that reproduce using spores instead of seeds

gymnosperms

conifers vascular plants with seeds not enclosed in fruits, often in cones

angiosperms

flowering plants vascular plants that produce flowers and seeds inside fruits

non- vascular plants

simple plants without tubes that absorb water directly, like a sponge

bryophytes

Monocots
