Tree Wood and Parts – announcement
Tree
In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, usually supporting branches and leaves. Trees usually reproduce using seeds.
Root
In vascular plants, the roots are the organs of a plant that are modified to provide anchorage for the plant and take in water and nutrients into the plant body.
Trunk
In botany, the trunk (or bole) is the stem and main wooden axis of a tree, which is an important feature in tree identification, depending on the species.
Bark
Bark is the outermost layer of stems and roots of woody plants. Bark refers to all the tissues outside the vascular cambium and is a nontechnical term.
Crown
The crown of a plant is the total of an individual plant’s aboveground parts, including stems, leaves, and reproductive structures.
Branch
A branch, also called a ramus in botany, is a stem that grows off from another stem, or when structures like veins in leaves are divided into smaller veins.
Leaf
A leaf (pl.: leaves) is a principal appendage of the stem of a vascular plant, usually borne laterally above ground and specialized for photosynthesis.
Bud
In botany, a bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of a stem.
Shrub
The crown of a plant is the total of an individual plant’s aboveground parts, including stems, leaves, and reproductive structures.
Wood
Wood is a structural tissue/material found as xylem in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic material.
