Parts of a Plant
🪴
Plants are living things that grow all around us. A plant has four main parts. Each part has a special job to help the plant live and grow!
🌱
1. Roots
The roots grow down under the soil. They hold the plant in place so it does not blow away. Roots also drink up water and food from the dirt.
🎋
2. Stem
The stem holds the plant up tall toward the sky. It acts like a straw! The stem carries water from the roots up to the rest of the plant.
🌿
3. Leaves
The leaves grow out from the stem. They soak up warm sunlight and fresh air. Leaves use light, air, and water to make food for the plant.
🌸
4. Flower
The flower is the bright, colorful part at the top. Bees and butterflies like to visit flowers. Flowers make seeds so new plants can grow!
Remember: Roots, stems, leaves, and flowers all work together as a team!
