In most plants the stem is the major vertical shoot, in some it is inconspicuous, and in others it is modified and resembles other plant parts]]> 2021-03-23 21:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aspenjacobsen/ecsgugmxqsddpljl/wish/1345304959 aspenjacobsen https://padlet.com/aspenjacobsen/ecsgugmxqsddpljl/wish/1345305280 Needle-leaf trees, or conifers, have long, thin leaves that resemble needles. The leaves remain on the tree year-round and are replaced slowly and continuously rather than all at once. The smaller, tighter needles are more waterproof and wind tight than the larger, wider leaves found on broadleaf or deciduous trees]]> 2021-03-23 21:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aspenjacobsen/ecsgugmxqsddpljl/wish/1345305280 aspenjacobsen https://padlet.com/aspenjacobsen/ecsgugmxqsddpljl/wish/1345306192 A mass of scales or bracts, usually ovate in shape, containing the reproductive organs of certain nonflowering plants. The cone, a distinguishing feature of pines and other conifers, is also found on all gymnosperms, on some club mosses, and on horsetails]]> 2021-03-23 21:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aspenjacobsen/ecsgugmxqsddpljl/wish/1345306192 aspenjacobsen https://padlet.com/aspenjacobsen/ecsgugmxqsddpljl/wish/1345306756 A fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) formed from the ovary after flowering.

The seeds of many gymnosperms (literally “naked seeds”) are borne in cones and are not visible until maturity]]> 2021-03-23 21:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aspenjacobsen/ecsgugmxqsddpljl/wish/1345309289 aspenjacobsen https://padlet.com/aspenjacobsen/ecsgugmxqsddpljl/wish/1345309772 A plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel.
