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.
