Term
APICAL MERISTEM
Definition
LOCATED AT THE TIP OF ROOTS AND SHOOTS
Term
CAMBIUM
Definition
LATERAL MERISTEMS THAT INCREASES THE GIRTH OF WOODY STEMS AS THEY GROW
Term
COLLENCHYMA

FOUND IN CROWN OF GRASS PLANT NEAR CROWN OF PLANT, AT NODES
Term
LIGNIN
Definition
HARDENS CELL WALLS IS RESISTANT TO MICROBIALS DECOMPOSITION
Term
MERISTEM
Definition
SITE OF CELL DIVISION AND LOCATED IN VARIOUS PARTS OF ROOTS AND SHOOTS.
Term
ZYGOMORPHIC
Definition
IRREGULAR FLOWERS THAT ASYMMETRICAL
Term
MERISTEMIC TISSUE
Definition
ACTIVELY DIVIDING UNDIFFERENTIATED CELLS
Term
PARENCHYMA
Definition
A SIMPLE TISSUE RELATIVELY UNDIFFERENTIATED, UNSPECIALIZED AND VEGETATIVE. IT MAKES UP A LARGE PORTION OF PLANTS
Term
PERMANENT TISSUE
Definition
COMPOSED OF DIFFERENTIATED, NON-DIVIDING CELLS DERIVED FROM THE MERISTEMS
Term
PHLOEM
Definition
A COPLEX TISSUE THAT IS THE PRINCIPAL FOOD CONDUCTING TISSUE
Term
SCLERENCHYMA
Definition
A SIMPLE TISSUE WITH ESPECIALLY THICK WALLED CELLS THAT IS NONLIVING WHEN MATURE
Term
SIEVE ELEMENTS

THE BASIC COMPONENTS OF PHLOEM THAT ARE SPECIALIZED CELLS. UPON MATURIY, THE NUCLEUS OF THE SIEVE CELL DISAPPEARS
Term
SIMPLE TISSUE
Definition
COMPOSED OF ONE TYPE OF CELL
Term
TISSUE
Definition
A CONTINUOUS, ORGANIZED MASS OF SIMILAR CELLS
Term
VASCULAR CAMBIUM
Definition
LOCATED IN STEMS USUALLY BETWEEN XYLEM AND PHLOEM
Term
XYLEM

THE MINIATURE PLANT THAT DEVEVOPS FOR THE UNION OF GAMETES
Term
HYPOCOTYL
Definition
THE TRANSITION ZONE BETWEEN ROOT AND SHOOT
Term
INTERNODE
Definition
THE PART OF THE AXIS BETWEEN TWO NODES
Term
PISTIL
