Parts of a Plant By: Olivia Krause EDTC 602-Spring 2006
Plants need 3 basic things to live. 1.Water 2.Sunlight 3. Air
Plants have 4 basic parts. • Flowers • Leaves • Stems • Roots
Plant Parts: Roots • Roots help hold the plant in place. • Roots take in water from the ground and bring it to the stems.
We eat some roots like carrots, potatoes, turnips, and onions!
Plant Parts: Stem • The stem holds a plant up. • A stem can be stiff or flexible. • Stems bring water and food to the leaves.
Some stems we eat are celery, chives, and asparagus.
Plant Part: Leaves • Leaves make food for the plant and provide shade for the stem.
Plant Parts: Flowers • Flowers make the seeds of a plant. • Flowers provide pollen to insects. • Some flowers help to make fruit for the plant.
Flowers: Can we eat these? • Some flowers are edible. (Edible means we can eat them!) Impatients Cornflower Anise Lemon Flower
Plants have many purposes in our life. We use them for food and beauty. All of their parts provide things to help the plant and people grow and change.
