What do a plants parts do?
Roots act like straws and absorb water and minerals.
Roots help anchor the plant so it does not fall over.
Roots store food for future use.
Stems support the plant. They act like the plants
plumbing system parts, conducting water and
nutrients from the roots and food in the form of
glucose from the leaves to other plant.
The leaves help plants make food. Leaves are designed
to capture sunlight which the plant uses to make food
through a process called photosynthesis.
Flowers contain pollen and tiny eggs called ovules.
After pollination of the flower and fertilization of the
ovule, the ovule develops into a fruit.
Fruit provides a covering for seeds. Fruit can be fleshy.
Seeds contain new plants. Seeds form in fruit.

Pollination
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the
stamen to a pistil.
Plants get pollinated by animals. Animals
don’t mean to pollinate. When animals get
their food from a plant the pollen sticks to
them and once they get to another flower
the pollen spreads.
Pollination is very important. It leads to
the creation of new seeds that grow into
new plants.
