Section 8-1: Structure of Seed Plants
C. There are two types of tissue, they are:1) Xylem:____________________________
Collect & change sunlight into food using photosynthesis.
Made of xylem & phloem which transport food and water.
Absorb food & nutrients and help anchor the plant in place.

Anchor the plant and absorb water, minerals, & soil nutrients. Can also store food.
Has several main roots that branch off into the soil.
Has one main root with many small hair-like roots on it.

Section 8-2: Structure of Seed Plants Trees can show their age if youlook at a log or tree cutting.Trees have what are called _______ ______, which grow layer by layer each year.Count the number of rings below, and determine the tree’s age.
Age of tree:____ years old.7
annual rings
