Parts of a plant & What they need to grow


What plants need and parts of the plant

Plants have typically six parts which are roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds.

Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and helps to hold the plant to the ground so the plant does not fall.

Stems are strong part that holds the plant upright. It allows water, nutrients to flow to the leaves.

Leaves of a plant helps to collect sunlight and most important of all they help to make food for the plant.  They come in many shapes and sizes.

Flowers are useful because they make fruit and seeds for the plant. Flowers are always beautiful so that they can attract other insects such as bees and birds.

Fruits are the part of plants that protects seeds. The seeds are moved to places by animals that eat the fruits.

Seeds are very important as they help the plant to reproduce as they grow into a new plant.
