: absorbs water for the plant.
: cells that open and close the stomata.
: tube that transports water up the stem.
: hard cells at the tip of roots that pierce soil
: hole in the leaves that transfer co₂ and o₂
: tube that transports sugar through the stem
essential question: how do plants reproduce?
flower:
sexual reproductive structure
produces and
and
occur here.
female part:
called
: sticky
surface for pollen to stick to.
: tube that
connects stigma to ovary.
: contains
eggs.
male part
called
: produces
sperm enclosed in pollen
grains
: holds up
the anther.

Explanation:

• Root Hair: Root hairs are extensions of root epidermal cells that increase the surface area for water absorption.
• Guard Cell: Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata by changing their shape.
• Xylem: Xylem is a vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
• Root Cap: The root cap protects the root tip as it grows through the soil.
• Stomata: Stomata are small pores on the leaf surface that allow for gas exchange (CO₂ in, O₂ out).
• Phloem: Phloem is a vascular tissue that transports sugars (products of photosynthesis) throughout the plant.
• Flower: Flowers are the sexual reproductive structures in angiosperms. They produce male (pollen) and female (ovules) gametes. Pollination (transfer of pollen) and fertilization (fusion of gametes) occur in flowers.
• Female Part (Pistil):
• Stigma: The sticky top part of the pistil that catches pollen.
• Style: The tube - like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary.
• Ovary: Contains the eggs (ovules).
• Male Part (Stamen):
• Anther: Produces pollen grains which contain sperm.
• Filament: Holds up the anther.
