Roots
 How

meet their basic needs?
— Roots
help to hold the

growing.
— Roots take in water and
nutrients from the soil.
— Roots can store water and
nutrients.
Stem
 How
do stems help plants
meet their basic needs?
— Stems
grow up from the
roots and help a plant
reach the air and light.
— The stem transports
water and nutrients from
the roots to the leaves and
flowers.
— The stem supports the
leaves and flowers.
Leaves
 How
do leaves help
plants meet their basic
needs?
— Leaves
make food for the
plant using the air, water,
and sunlight.
— Different environments
have different amounts
of sunlight and water
available for leaves to
make food for the plant.
Flower
 How
do flowers help plants
meet their basic needs?
— Flowers
attract insects such as
bees, butterflies, and bats.
— These animals pollinate the
flowers so the plant can
reproduce.
— The flower makes the seeds.
Fruit

does the fruit help
plants meet their basic
needs?
— The
fruit of the plant
stores the seeds.
— Sometimes, the fruit is
eaten by animals and
