Parts of the plant
The plant has 4 parts :
1. Root - holds the plant in the ground and absorbs water and nutrients from
the soil.
2. Stem - carries the water and nutrients to the rest of the plant. It also helps
support it and direct the leaves towards the sunlight for them to produce the
food source for the plant.
3. Leaves - make food for the plant ( !! 1 leaf – 2 leaves !! )
4. Flowers - make the seeds to make new flowers.
