All about Plant Parts
Most plants have roots that anchor them and absorb water, a stem that supports leaves and carries water, leaves that make food through photosynthesis, and flowers that make seeds.
Each part has a job, and together they keep the plant alive and growing.
Roots hold the plant in the soil and take in water and minerals.
Leaves are the plant's food factories, where photosynthesis takes place. Flowers attract insects and other animals that help the plant make seeds. Once the seeds are made, they are often protected inside fruits, which can be eaten by animals who then spread the seeds around.
