In the this section, we discussed the following terms:
- Seedling
- Crown
- Trunk
- Roots
- Photosynthesis
- Bark
- Cambium
- Inner bark
- Wood
We also talked about the following concepts:
- All trees grow in pretty much the same way.
- Tree crowns grow taller so the tree can get enough sunlight.
- Tree trunks grow wider to support the size of the tree.
- Tree roots grow longer so the tree can get enough water and nutrients.
- New growth on roots and twigs occurs at the ends.
- Cambium cells, located between the bark and the wood multiply to make new bark and wood.
Well, that sums up our How A Tree Grows lesson. Next we will be taking a look at wood in the first part of "Wood Parts and Anatomy".
