 What Are Plants?
Plants are living things that are
made up of cells. Each part of a plant
has a very important function.
 Parts of a plant
Plants have
seeds
roots
leaves
stems
flowers
 What does each part do?
SEEDS
A seed is a little plant. It is a
plant that has not started to
grow.
Seeds are different shapes,
sizes, and colors.
All seeds grow into the same
kind of plant that made them.
ROOTS
Roots hold up the plant in the
soil so it doesnt blow away.
They also take in water
The roots of a plant have root
hairs that absorb water and
minerals from the soil. The
root caps protect the root
when it bumps into hard things
under the ground.

STEM
The stem holds up the
plant and carries water
from the roots to the
leaves
There are several
different types of stems.
Flowering plants like
carnations and tomatoes
have soft stems. Trees
and bushes have hard,
woody stems.
LEAVES
Leaves help plants make
their own food
Within the leaf is a green
material called chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight
to make a natural sugar that
the plants uses for food.
The leaf has veins for
carrying this sugar to other
parts of the plant.

FLOWERS
Flowers make
seeds and fruits
for plants
Flowers come in
many colors,
shapes, and
sizes
Flowers have
pollen inside
that helps the
seeds grow
 What do plants need?
Plants need
Water
Nutrients from soil
Light
Space
