Conducting tissue transports water from the plant’s root to its leaves, and sugar from the plant’s leaves to its root.
During pollination, pollen from a stamen is transported to the pistil.
Flowering plants reproduce sexually with the help of flowers. The pollen of one flower fertilizes the egg cell of another flower, producing a seed. The seed grows into a new plant individual.
Sporiferous plants reproduce sexually with the help of spores. Each spore can grow into a new plant individual. No fertilization takes place.
Sexual reproduction occurs with the help of gametes (sex cells).
Asexual reproduction is reproduction that takes place without gametes, for example with the help of runners or spores.
Plants require nutrients such as nitrogen in order to grow.
In photosynthesis, plants use energy from sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.
The roots of an aerial shoot plant are in the soil under the water, and most of the plant is located above the water’s surface.
The roots of a floating-leaf plant are in the soil under the water, and most of its leaves float on the water’s surface.
Submerged plants grow completely under the water. Only their flower may come up to the surface.
