What Does a Plant Need?
Needs of Plants
Like all living things, a plant has
certain needs. They need air, water,
energy from food, and a place to live.
However, unlike animals, green
plants make their own food. To make
food, plants need light, water and the
gas carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide
is a gas in the air.
Parts of a Plant
Plants are made
up of different
parts. Each part
plays a role in
helping a plant
get or make what
it needs to
survive.
Parts of a Plant
A plant cannot live without leaves.
Leaves make most of a plant’s food.
Roots take in some of the materials a plant
needs to make food. The stem carries
food, water, and other materials to and
from the roots and leaves. A plant needs
all three parts – leaves, roots, and stem –
to live, grow, and stay alive.
