Term
| What happens as stem grows |
|
Definition
| As stem grows up it leaves behind the undifferentiated cells and those will mature into specific cell types |

| Dermal Tissue (epidermis) |
|
Definition
Single Cell layer that cover the plant
Absorption in the root system
Water retention in the shoot system, aided by a waxy cuticle |

Definition
Gives off a waxy layer called a cuticle to help prevent water loss
The root cells that make up the epidermis of the root do not contain that waxy material. The skin of the root is used to take up water. There is a waxy layer on the shoot to help prevent water loss. |

It is kind of sort of the same as our arteries and veins.
Includes the xylem and the phloem |

transports water and dissolved minerals
represents a group of cells in which some of them are actually dead when they mature. The Xylem is found in specific places of the plant. And the cells die. Now waterway down from the tips of the root will be carried through these functionally dead cells of the Xylem, these are the vesicle element cells. And the Tracheid’s is the other cell types. These are used to move water and minerals up to the shoot. Sclerenchyma cells are also dead cells and they support all the tubes of the Xylem. They are holding up these pipes.
The xylem is unidirectional with the water |

transports sugars dissolved in water
Phloems also have the sclerenchyma cells that hold them up. The cells are still alive when they function. They move sugars where they are required in the plant. The phloem consists of a sieve-tube element, which is budded up to the companion cell. This sieve-tube element cannot do everything it self so the companion element controls the sieve-tube element.
Sugar can move in either direction. So the phloem is bidirectional |

We find those types of tissues everywhere. All those pipes are contained in the dermis.
Water is taken up in the root and is moved up to the shoot of the plant |
