Word & Picture Definition
AngiospermVascular plant that produces fruits,
flowers and seeds. These adaptations represent a more effective way to live on land. When conditions are good,
angiosperms will outcompete gymnosperms, ferns and bryophytes.
Bryophyte
These primitive plants lack seeds and vascular tissue. This means that they must remain close to the ground and
rely on water for reproduction.
Chitin
This chemical is built by fungi as structural support for its cell walls. It is
a polysaccharide of glucose like cellulose.

Fern
Example of plant that would be vascular but still use spores instead of
seeds. This kind of plant will often outcompete mosses since they can
grow taller and access more groundwater through longer roots.
Flower
These are the reproductive parts of the angiosperm plants. They entice
animals with nectar so that pollen will be transported to other plants for
fertilization.
Gymnosperm
Vascular plants with seeds but lack a fruit and flower. This group typically will have needle-like leaves and have reproductive structures called cones.

Hyphae
These are the filamentous structures that make up a Fungi. They make up both the reproductive fruiting body
found above the ground and the nutrient collecting network found underground called the mycelium.
LichenThese pioneer species live in nutrient
poor areas and start the process of succession. They are a symbiotic
parasitism between the kingdoms of Protista (algae) and Fungi.
Moss
This common plant belongs to phylum of Bryophytes. These type of plants are
fruitless, seedless, and non-vascular.

Mycelium
This word describes the vast underground network of nutrient
collecting fungal hyphae.
Mycorrhizae
This describes a mutualism between plants and fungi that relies on a trade
of phosphorous from the fungi for carbohydrates from the plants.
This describes all plants that are low to the ground because they cannot
transport water against the flow of gravity. Describes primitive plants like
Mosses, Liverworts, and HornwortsNon

PollenMale reproductive cells that are
distributed by wind or animal and used for fertilization by gymnosperms and
angiosperms. Often the cause of human allergies.
Seeds
Fertilized plant egg cells that are surrounded by starches and a tough cellulose coating. Allows for greater
distribution and the ability to wait until conditions are favorable for growth.
This word describes how plants live anchored in place and unable to get up to find more favorable conditions in the
same manner as animals.Sess

SporesThese cells are used in a primitive form
of plant reproduction. They are not protected by a seed coat and often rely
on water for their transport.
Terrestrial
This describes the rooted nature of plants. They are sessile and have roots
that are anchored in the “ground”.
Tissues
Groups of cells with a common structure (form) and function (job).

Vascular
This describes the use of tissues to move fluids (water or blood) against the pull of gravity. This allows plants to grow
taller (more access to sunlight) and have deeper roots (more support & access to water).
