Study Set Content:
Derived from meristems other than apical meristems
Secondary Plant Body
Composed of secondary tissues: wood and bark
Secondary plant body
Constitutes the herbaceous parts of a plant
Primary plant body
Constitutes the woody, bark-covered parts of a plant
Secondary plant body
A woody plant has primary tissues at its roots and tips, and a seedling consists of only primary tissue. But after a few months
wood and bark, arise inside the primary tissues of stem and roots
An herb consists only of
a primary plant body
The area or the region of the stem where a leaf or leaves are attached
Node
Base of the petiole that
are paired, often somewhat leaf-like,
appendages that remain throughout
the life of the leaf.
Stipules
stem region between nodes
Internode
Flat expanded part of a leaf as distinguished from the petiole. The leaf of an herb or grass
Blade
A twig by a stalk. A slender
stem that supports the blade of the
foliage leaf
Petiole
This is where axil
(angle between a petiole and stem
containing a bud) are situated.
axillary bud
Located at the tip of
each twig. It resembles an axillary
bud but is often larger. Produces
tissues that make the twig grow
larger.
Terminal bud
angle between a petiole and stem
containing a bud)
axil
A layer of cork that seals
the wound as a leaf falls from the
stem, keeping fungi and bacteria out
and preventing water loss.
Leaf scar
Loose aggregation of
cells which penetrates the surface of
a woody plant and through which
gases are exchanged between the
gases in the atmosphere and its
tissues
Lenticels
embryonic plant shoot
Bud
contributes to general shoot growth
Bud
are the points on a stem where the buds, leaves and branching
twigs originate.
Nodes
Nodes are important in
healing, structural support, and biological processes that takes place
