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.
Potatoes, turnips, carrots
and onions are roots we eat!
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.
Lettuce, cabbage and spinach
are leaves we eat!
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!)
