Frond:a large, divided leaf. I'm not exactly sure what kind of plant this is, but I think it represents the divided leaves since there are distinct leaves in different areas of the plant.
Pollinator: agent that moves pollen from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish fertilization of the female gamete in the ovule of the flower by the male gamete from the pollen grain. The bee is an example of a pollinator because it is taking the pollen from the flower and moving it to another. (the bee is hard to see it's towards the middle of the plant by the leaf.)
Seed Dispersal by Wind: Seed dispersal by wind is shown since the seed comes off of the tree and flows in the direction of the wind. Helicopters land all over the place, but since it isn't always a likely for germination the plant doesn't necessarily grow.Modified Stem of a Plant: A blub is an example because it is not your average stem. Bulbs are a short vertical underground stem with fleshy storage leaves. Bulbs are a combination of stem and leaves so may better be considered as leaves because the leaves make up the greater part.
Endosperm:is the tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants around the time of fertilization. The endosperm in an apple is the pit part that we usually throw away.
Hydrophobic: the physical property of a molecule that is repelled from a mass of water. Oil doesn't mix with water, therefore is is hydrophobic.
