Plants are living things.
They grow and change over time.
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.
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!)

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.
