Main parts of a plant

A plant has many important parts such as its root, stem, leaves, and flower. The parts of plant have many functions that makes it possible for the plant to live.

Roots help support the plant by anchoring it into the ground. Roots have tiny hairs that absorb nutrients from the soil, which plants needs to grow. These root hairs also take in water from the soil , which a plant needs to live and grow ​

A plants stem ​is used to support the plant. The stem allow the plants leaves to reach above the soil so that they may take in the sunshine. A plants stem carries the water and nutrients that are taken in by the plants roots to the rest of the plant

Leaves are the part of a green plant where the plants own food is made through a process called photosynthesis. ​Photosynthesis is the process by which a green plant makes it own food using energy from the sun, water it gets form the soil, and the air. During the process photosynthesis, the leaves of a green plant take in carbon dioxide through the stomates (tiny holes). Photosynthesis creates food for the plant and at the same time releases oxygen (through the stomates) into the air.

The main job of the flower of a plant is to make seeds. New plants grow from these seeds. Some plants form fruit to help protect their seeds​
