Parts of a Plant

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.
