Roots

These are roots - they hold the plant in place and they also collect water from the soil to help send it up to the plant

Stems

The yellow circled part, is called a stem. This holds up the flower! It also acts like a straw and sucks the water up from the roots to give to the flower

Leaves

The yellow circled parts are the leaves! This help to make food for the plant by using sunlight! They also help make fresh oxygen for us to breathe.

Flowers and Fruit

The flowers attract insects to help make new plants with pollen. Flowers grow into fruit!

Plants PRODUCE food like apples, oranges, bananas, berries, nuts, etc.)

Photosynthesis

• The process that plants use to make food is called photosynthesis.

• The word "photo" is the Greek word for "light." Plants rely on light from the sun to help them make food.

Photosynthesis

So the important thing to remember is that plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food inside of their leaves. During this process they make sugar and oxygen, which helps us!
