What does VITTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanyzoology
A slender oil-filled tube found in the fruit of certain plants such as those in the carrot family, or, more broadly, any stripe or band of colour on a plant or animal.
In botany, a vitta is one of the narrow tubes of aromatic oil embedded in the fruit wall of plants in the carrot and parsley family, giving seeds like caraway and dill their characteristic scent. In zoology, the same word describes a coloured stripe running along an insect, shell or other creature, used by naturalists for precise description. Because the word covers both a hidden internal structure and a visible marking, its exact meaning always depends on the field in which it is used.
