Plants are living things. Plants need water, air, nutrients and sunlight to grow. There are two main kinds of plants: Plants with flowers – any plant with flowers and fruit trees. Plants without flowers – pine trees, mosses and ferns. Parts of a Plant A plant has different parts that help it live and grow. Roots • The roots help to keep the plant in the soil. • The roots also take in water and other nutrients from the soil that the plant needs. Stem • Stems carry water and other nutrients to the leaves. • Stems help the plant stand up straight and tall so that it can reach the sunlight it needs. Leaves • Green plants make their own food in their leaves. • They use sunlight, air, water and nutrients from the soil to make their own food. Flower • The flower makes seeds. • The seeds are scattered by air or water to new places and grow into new plants. • Flowers come in different colors, shapes, and sizes.
