The parts of a plant / What plants need to grow
Roots -> Take in water and food (mineral
salts) from soil. Anchors plants. The roots
of a plant are spread out.
Stem -> "Like a straw", transports water
through plant. Raises the height of flowers
and leaves. Brings closer to light.
Structural. The stem is made up of little
tubes.
Leaves -> Different shapes. Almost always
green but sometimes covered with another
colour such as red. Green substance in
leaves -> chlorophyll. Leaves make food for
the plant. To do this they need the water
and mineral salts obtained from the soil.
They are carried inside little veins in the
leaf. To make food leaves also need
sunshine and CO2.
Flowers - > Flowers produce seeds which
form new plants.
Space and warmth also needed for a plant
to grow.
