Sexual Organs

9. root hairs

Epidermal Tissue
cork
glands

10. Ground Tissue (Filler)
parenchyma

Least specialized
Ground Tissue (Filler)
sclerenchyma

11. Vascular Tissue
(Stele)

12. Meristem (embryonic tissue)
Plants constantly
grow in specialized
areas only!
Meristem (embryonic tissue)

13. Embryonic root cross section

14. procambium (vascular tissue)
ground meristem
(ground tissue)
protoderm
(epidermis)
procambium (vascular tissue)

16. fibrous root (monocot)
taproot (dicot)
First root grows
straight down ex. Beet
fibrous root (monocot)
Anchor/ hold soil ex. grss
Secondary growth
adventitious root
pericycle
Grow from lower nodes of stem
Dicots- from vascular tissue

17. parasitic
mutualistic
haustoria

18. Soybean root nodules, each containing billions of Bradyrhizobium bacteria

19. Shoot Apical Meristem Produces new cells that elongate,
Terminal bud
Produces new cells
that elongate,
increasing length
Continually
differentiating
Primary growth
Mature non-woody stems (herbaceous)
Most monocots
Shoot Apical Meristem

20. rhizome
stolon
tuber
tendril
corm

21. (Stipules)

26. spines
tendril

27. Secondary growth Second and subsequent years Lateral meristem
Woody Stems
Second and subsequent years
Lateral meristem
