| Question | Answer |
| Axillary bud | A structure that can form a lateral shoot, commonly called a branch (most are dormant) |
| Internodes | The segments between nodes |
| Nodes | The point at which leaves are attached |
| Stem | Organ consisting of an alternating system of nodes and internodes |
| Morphology | External form |
| Root hairs | Greatly increase the plants surface area, short-lived and constantly replaced; thin and tubular extension of a root epidermal cell; contribute little to plant anchorage |
| Branch/lateral roots | Those that extend out from the tap root; multicellular organ |
| Root | A multicellular organ that anchors a vascular plant in the soil, absorbs minerals and water, and often stores carbohydrates |
| Taproot system | All the roots are connected to one main vertical root which develops from the embryonic root, penetrate deeply |
| Fibrous root system (monocot) | All the roots draw back to one point, no root functions as the main one, do not penetrate deeply |
| Dicots | Two cotyledons, veins usually netlike, vascular bundles arranged in a ring, taproot present, floral part in multiples of 4 or 5 |
| Monocots | One cotyledon, veins parallel to leaf, vascular bundles are complexly arranged, fibrous root system, floral part in multiples of 3's |
| Angiosperms | Dicots and monocots |
| Cotyledons/embryos | Angiosperms and Gymnosperms |
| Vegetative Growth | Production of non-reproductive leaves, stems and roots |
| Shoot system | Stems and leaves (Depends on the water and minerals absorbed through roots) |
| Root system | Roots (Depends on sugars and carbs produced during photosynthesis)-as big if not bigger than shoot system |
| Three basic organs | Roots, stems, leaves |
| Angiosperm | Flowering/fruiting plants (reproduction produces flowers) |
| Gymnosperm | Naked seeds |
| Non-vascular | Short, do not have an effective transport system |
| Vascular | Has a long distance transport for materials |
