Plants and Their Parts
Vocabulary:

Mineral Roots Stem Leaf

Energy photosynthesis Structure chlorophyll

Plants do not eat other organisms to get energy. They

use the energy from sunlight to make their own
food through a process called photosynthesis.

What are the different plants' structures?

Plant's structure Function of plant parts
Roots
1. It helps hold the plant in the soil.
2. It helps the plant to take in water and
minerals from the soil.
3. Some roots store food like carrots and
radishes.
Stem
1. It helps the plant to stand upright
2. It carries water, minerals and food throughout
a plant.
It carries minerals and water from the roots.
It also carries food from the leaves to other

takes place in the leaves.

sunlight
Carbon dioxide gas + water oxygen +plant’s food

What do leaves have?

 Tiny holes on the underside of a leaf, to help
