- Most monocot plants (herbaceous plants) are annual plants and tend to be thinner than woody (dicot plant) stems. They're usually softer, more bendable and greener. The stem dies down to soil level at the end of a season. Monocot plants are often referred to as herbaceous plants. Both monocots and dicots are flowering plants, but monocots have parallel leaf veins, one cotyledon, flowers in multiples of three and no cortex. Grass is an example of a monocot plant.
- Auxin is a plant hormone found in the tip of the stem. Auxins are usually defined by their ability to induce cell elongation in stems, although they can also affect other processes. In other words, they are what cause the plant to form leaves and exhibit photo tropism. All leafy plants have this hormone.
- An organism capable of makings its own food.
- The vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem.
- A plant that is characterized by the presence of conducting tissue.
- The tissue in vascular plants that circulates fluid and nutrients. There are two kinds of vascular tissue: xylem, which conducts water and nutrients up from the roots, and phloem, which distributes food from the leaves to other parts of the plant
- An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages
- a fibrous protein forming the main structural constituent of hair, feathers, hoofs, claws, horns
- Tissue that connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs, typically having relatively few cells embedded in an amorphous matrix, often with collagen or other fibers, and including cartilaginous, fatty, and elastic tissues.
- Mimicry in which an edible animal is protected by its resemblance to a noxious one that is avoided by predators.
- Any of a group of plants that produce seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit or ovary. These are two examples of leaf gymnosperm
