1.   wind    of Alga    A leaf's main function is to produce this.    Cross-pollination of flowers can occur when this carries pollen from one plant to another plant.    The underground part of a plant that lacks buds or leaves or nodes; absorbs water and mineral salts; usually it anchors the plant to the ground.

2.   chlorophyll    The thin and flat part of a leaf.    The chloroplast of a plant cell contains this green substance. The plant uses this to make its own food.    These types of trees lose their leaves every year.    A type of tree that produces its seeds in cones.

3.   xylem    Inside of a root, this connects the epidermis with the inner core.    The largest layer of the tree trunk that consists of dead cells. This layer carries water from the roots of a tree to its leaves.    The time of the year when fruits from plants are usually harvested.    Trees that have been sawed and prepared for use in building, woodworking, or cabinetmaking.

4.   algae    This is the meaning of the word conifer.    Equal-sized branching roots.    of Alga    Cross-pollination of flowers can occur when this carries pollen from one plant to another plant.

5.   food    The largest layer of the tree trunk that consists of dead cells. This layer carries water from the roots of a tree to its leaves.    A leaf's main function is to produce this.    The type of leaves that deciduous trees usually have.    The inside of a plant cell, apart from its nucleus.

6.   deciduous    Inside of a root, this is the layer of cells that covers the root.    These types of trees lose their leaves every year.    A layer of cells that marks the boundary between the inner core and outer surrounding tissue of a plant root.    This is what happens after germination as the plant produces roots and leaves.

7.   bark    Wood that is burnt and then used for cooking food.    The outer protective layer of tree trunks that protects a tree against animals and prevents the tree from losing water.    A thick layer that surrounds the plant cell.    Photosynthesis uses this along with light and carbon dioxide to make food.

8.   conifer    The chloroplast of a plant cell contains this green substance. The plant uses this to make its own food.    A type of tree that produces its seeds in cones.    Inside of a root, this tissue is made of tubes that carry water and minerals upward from the soil.    The part of a tree that is above the trunk and consists of branches, twigs, and leaves.

9.   growth    A living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently.    This occurs when birds, insects, or the wind carries pollen from one plant to another plant.    This is what happens after germination as the plant produces roots and leaves.    One of the four things that plants need. Plants use the carbon dioxide from this.

10.   xylem tissue    This is a small growth on a stem, which develops into either a flower or a new stem.    Inside of a root, this tissue is made of tubes that carry water and minerals upward from the soil.    Plants that feed on animals. These types of plants are capable of trapping and digesting small animals especially insects.    The outer protective layer of tree trunks that protects a tree against animals and prevents the tree from losing water.

11.   organism    A living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently.    A thin layer that surrounds the plant cell.    One of the four things that plants need. Plants use the carbon dioxide from this.    Inside of a root, this is the layer of cells that covers the root.

12.   charcoal    This is the meaning of the word conifer.    Wood that is burnt and then used for cooking food.    This is a small growth on a stem, which develops into either a flower or a new stem.    Cross-pollination of flowers can occur when this carries pollen from one plant to another plant.
