Plants Word Search
This plants puzzle follows a plant from seed to flower: germination, the cotyledon, the root and stem, the xylem and phloem that carry water and sugar, and the flower parts, petal, stamen and pistil.
A flowering plant falls into one of two groups by its seed. A monocot, such as corn, wheat or a lily, sprouts with one seed leaf and has leaves with parallel veins. A dicot, such as a bean or an oak, sprouts with two and has veins that branch like a net. The stamen makes pollen in its anther; pollination happens when that pollen reaches the stigma on top of the pistil, and the ovary below swells into a fruit.
Plants move toward light by growing unevenly. Charles Darwin and his son Francis showed in 1880 that a grass seedling bends toward a lamp only if its tip is uncovered, and later scientists found the growth hormone made in that tip. Seeds can wait a long time. A date palm seed found at Masada in Israel, about two thousand years old, was planted in 2005 and sprouted.
