Our topic for today is parts of a plant
A plant has many different parts
that perform various functions.
The 2 main parts of the plant are the root and shoot
Root usually grows under the ground
while shoot usually grows above the ground.
The shoot has different parts called
the steam,
leaves,
flowers
and fruits.
The stem is the stalk of the plant
it helps the plant to stand upright.
It carries water and minerals
from the roots to the leaves
and carries food prepared by the leaves
to the different parts of the plant.
Branches are parts that grow from the stem.
Leaves grow on the stem and branches
they are usually green due to the presence of chlorophyll
which helps them to prepare food.
Leaves have small openings called stomata
through which plants take in and give out air.
Flowers are the reproductive parts of plant.
They come in different shapes, sizes and colours.
By the process of pollination,
many flowers develop into delicious fruits
which are eaten by us.
Roots help to anchor the plant to the ground.
They absorb the water and minerals
required for the growth of the plant.
