    Plants have different parts that allow them to grow and obtain nutrients. They have roots that take in water and nutrients from the soil, stems that transport these throughout the plant, and leaves, flowers, and fruits that carry out photosynthesis. There are two main types of roots - tap roots that grow deep into the soil and fibrous roots that spread close to the surface. Stems can be underground, storing nutrients, or above ground to transport materials throughout the plant.

    Two Types of Roots
    Tap Roots

    Taproots grow deep


    into the soil toward
    Earth’s center due to
    gravity. Taproots take
    in water and nutrients
    from the soil. The
    roots also store food
    made by the plant.
    Tap Roots examples

    Carrots Dandelion Turnip


    Fibrous Roots
    Fibrous roots of the
    same plant are all about
    the same size. They
    grow longer than
    taproots. Fibrous roots
    also grow close to the
    surface to take in water
    after it rains.
    Fibrous Roots examples:

    White Clover Grass

    Green Onion
    Two Different
    Kinds of Stems
    Underground
    Stem can store the food
    that the plant
    makes. They are
    usually full of
    nutrients. Many of
    them can be stored
    in cool places for a
    long time
    Cactus stems swell
    up to store
    water. Cactus stem
    s are thick
    and waxy. This kee
    ps them
    from losing water. C
    actus stems
    help them survive in
    a desert.
