Plant Parts and Functions

What are the functions of the roots of plants?

• To absorb water and nutrients for the plant. To provide support for the plant to grow.

• To enable the plant to grow taller. To transport materials around the plant.

• To make seeds for the plant in order to help plants reproduce.

• To make fruits and vegetables for the plant in order to help plants sexually reproduce.

• To hold the DNA and nutrients for a plants so it can reproduce and form a new plant.

Approximately 95% of a plant's mass comes from:

• Oxygen

• Water

• Sunlight

• Carbon Dioxide

• Soil
