Definition
Tissues in which cells actively divide
Found at or near the tips of roots and shoots
A narrow cylindrical sheath of cells that produces
secondary xylem and phloem in stems and roots
Forms a thin cylinder that runs the length of roots and
stems in woody plants
Develop at intervals along stems adding to stem length
in plants that have no cambium
Tissue composed of parenchyma cells which are the
most common type of plant cell
Parenchyma cells containing numerous choloroplasts,
function mainly in photosynthesis
Have thick uneven cell walls and provide flexible
support for both growing organs and mature organs
Tissue consisting of cells that have thick , tough
secondary walls, dead at maturity
Conducts water and dissolved minerals throughout all
organs
Conducts dissolved food materials throughout the
plant
The outermost layer of cells of all young plant organs
A waxy protective layer on the outer walls of
epidermal cells
Small pores in the epidermis of leaves
A pair of specialized cells surrounding a stoma
Replaces the epidermis in woody plants, the outer bark
