Parts of a Plant
Age 7 Science
A plant grows from roots hidden under the soil all the way up to a flower at the top. The stem holds it up straight, and the leaves catch sunlight to make the plant's food.
Examples
- A carrot in the kitchen is the root of a plant.
- A sunflower in the garden has a tall stem, wide leaves, and one big flower.
Key takeaways
- Roots drink water and hold the plant in the ground.
- Leaves make food from sunlight, and the flower makes seeds.
