Today, we’re going to learn about the different parts of a plant and what they do. Let’s explore each part and discover how they help the plant grow!
The roots are like the plant’s feet. They are under the ground and help keep the plant in place. Roots also drink up water and nutrients from the soil, which the plant needs to grow strong and healthy.
The stem is like the plant’s highway. It stands tall and helps the plant reach up to the sunlight. The stem carries water and food from the roots to the rest of the plant. Some stems are green and bendy, while others are hard and woody, like tree trunks.
Leaves are usually green because they have a special color called chlorophyll. They are attached to the stem and are very important for the plant. Leaves help the plant make food through a process called photosynthesis. They also help the plant breathe. Leaves can be different shapes and sizes. In autumn, when there is less sunlight, leaves can change color to yellow or brown.
Each leaf has two main parts: the petiole and the blade. The blade is the flat part that has lots of green cells to make food. The petiole is like a little stem that connects the blade to the main stem.
Flowers are the plant’s way of making new plants. They are also called angiosperms. Flowers are very important because they have seeds inside them. All fruits come from flowers, and they help plants grow new seeds.
Isn’t it amazing how each part of the plant has a special job? Now you know how plants work and grow!
Root Exploration: Go on a root hunt in your garden or a nearby park. Look for different plants and gently dig around the base to see the roots. Remember to be careful and not to pull the plants out. Draw a picture of the roots you find and describe how they look. Are they long, short, thick, or thin? Discuss with a friend or family member why roots are important for the plant.
Stem Experiment: Try a simple experiment to see how stems carry water. Take a white flower or a piece of celery and place it in a glass of water with a few drops of food coloring. Watch over a few days to see how the color travels up the stem. Write down what you observe each day. How does this show the stem’s job in the plant?
Leaf Collection and Observation: Collect different types of leaves from various plants. Look at their shapes, sizes, and colors. Use a magnifying glass to see the veins and patterns on the leaves. Create a leaf scrapbook by gluing the leaves onto paper and labeling them. Discuss how the leaves are similar or different and why they might have different shapes.

Today, we’re going to learn about the parts of the plant.
**Roots**: The roots lie below the surface of the soil. They hold the plant together and absorb water and mineral salts.
**Stem**: The stem holds up the plant and brings water and food from the roots to the rest of the plant. Green stems store nutrients during photosynthesis. Plant stems can grow into branches. Green stems are soft and flexible, while woody stems are hard and rigid. Trees have trunks.
**Leaves**: Leaves are green because of a pigment called chlorophyll, and they are attached to the stem. Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves, which also help the plant breathe. Leaves differ in shape and form. In autumn, when light is scarce, chlorophyll levels drop, and leaves turn yellow or brown. Leaves are made up of two parts: the petiole and the blade. The blade is the flat part of the leaf that contains many green food-making cells, while the petiole attaches the leaf blade to the stem.
**Flower**: Flowering plants are also known as angiosperms. Flowers are the reproductive structures of the plant, and all fruits come from flowers. Flowers contain seeds.
