Learning Objective

I can describe the basic parts of a plant and their functions.

  • 1

    Roots act like anchors to hold the plant in place and soak up water and nutrients from the soil.

  • 2

    The stem supports the plant, helping it stand tall, and carries water and nutrients to the leaves and flowers.

  • 3

    Leaves are like food factories that use sunlight, water, and air to make food for the plant through photosynthesis.
