Text 5.

Whether a tree is coniferous or deciduous, whether it bears fruit or not, whether it grows in the
tropics or in the temperate zone, every tree has three parts: the roots, the trunk, and the crown.
The roots, the part of the tree underground, hold the tree firmly against windstorms and provide
the tree with food gathered from the soil. The trunk, which is the most important woody part of the
tree, is the body of the tree it carries the food from the roots to the branches. The crown of the
tree consists of the branches, the leaves, and the fruit of the tree. The leaves use the food sent
from the trunk for many purposes, one of which is a process that is particularly useful to humans.
