    • Plant systems
      Complex networks of organs, tissues, and cells working together to sustain life
    • Plant systems
      • Root system
      • Shoot system
      • Vascular system
      • Reproductive system
    • Root system
      • Anchors the plant in the soil
      • Absorbs water, nutrients
      • Stores reserves
    • Root types
      • Primary root
      • Secondary root
      • Tertiary roots
      • Root hairs
    • Root regions
      1. Region of maturation
      2. Region of elongation
      3. Region of cell division
      4. Region of root cap
    • Shoot system
      • Consists of stems, leaves, and reproductive structures
      • Responsible for photosynthesis, support, and reproduction
    • Apical bud
      Topmost bud on a plant stem, responsible for upward growth and development
    • Leaf
      Flat, usually green structure attached to the stem, responsible for photosynthesis, gas exchange, and transpiration
    • Node
      Point on a plant stem where leaves, branches, or buds emerge
    • Internode
      Portion of a plant stem between two adjacent nodes
    • Main stem
      Primary central axis of a plant that supports leaves, branches, flowers, and other structures
    • Auxiliary bud
      Bud located in the angle formed between the leaf and the stem
    • Petiole
      Slender stalk that connects a leaf blade to the stem
    • Cotyledon
      First leaf or pair of leaves that emerge from the embryo of a seed
    • Germination
      Process by which a seed begins to sprout and grow into a new plant
    • Vascular system
      Transports water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plants through the vascular tissues
    • Vascular bundle
      Group of specialized tissues within a plant stem that transport fluids and nutrients
    • Xylem
      Carries water and minerals from roots to leaves
    • Phloem
      Transports sugars produced during photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plant
    • Reproductive system
      Serves the crucial function of ensuring the continuation of their species through the production of seeds
    • Flower
      Reproductive structure of angiosperms (flowering plants), contains both male and female reproductive organs
    • Male reproductive organs

      • Stigma
      • Style
      • Ovary
    • Ovule
      Structure within the ovary where female gametes (eggs) are produced and fertilization occurs
    • Receptacle
      Enlarged tip of the flower's stem to which the floral organs are attached
    • Sepals
      Leaf-like structures that enclose and protect the developing flower bud
    • Petals
      Brightly colored structures surrounding the reproductive organ of the flower, attract pollinators
    • The human body consists of several organ systems

    • Integumentary system
      Helps maintain a constant body temperature, protects the body, and provides sensory information about the surrounding environment
    • Skin
      Also known as the "integument", covering the external surface of the body and is the largest organ of the body
