PLANTS PRODUCE FOOD

Did you know, plants are the only living things that produce their own food?
1.- The roots absorb water and minerals.
2.- Water goes through the stems to the leaves.
3.- The leaves absorb sunlight.
4.- Plants produce food in their leaves.

WE USE THE PLANTS IN DIFFERENT WAYS

Some plants are aromatic. Lavender smells nice and we use it in perfumes.
Some plants are medicinal. We use lime blossom to make relaxing tea.
Some plants taste nice. We use parsley as a condiment in cooking.

PARTS OF A PLANT

Plants need soil, water, air and sun to grow. The different parts of the plant have different functions:
  • Some plants have fruit.
  • Leaves absorb oxygen and sunlight.
  • Roots absorb water and minerals.
  • The stem supports the plant.
