 WHAT ARE
PLANTS?
Plants are living organisms that are
able to produce their own food
through photosynthesis. They come in
a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and
colors. They have special parts that
help them survive and thrive.
What are the
parts of a
plant?
 flower
leaf

fruit

stem seed

root
 ROOTS
Roots are often found below the
surface of the soil. They absorb
water and nutrients from the
ground. They also anchor the plant
in place. Some roots store food and
nutrients for the plant's growth.
FUNCTION
1.Absorption of water and
nutrients
2. Transportation of water and
nutrients to stem
3. Anchored plant to maintain
stability
4. Store water and food
 STEMS
Stems are found above the
ground. They provide support to
the plant by holding up leaves,
flowers, buds, and fruits. They
also transport water, nutrients,
and minerals to different parts of
the plant.
 FUNCTIO
N
1. Transports water and nutrients
from the roots to leaves
2. Supports flower, leaves and
fruit
3. Food Storage
 LEAVES
Leaves are flat and thin structures
attached to the stem of a plant.
They produce food for the plant
through the process of
photosynthesis. They also help
regulate the exchange of gases
with the surroundings.
 FUNCTIO
N
1. Convert sunlight into food for
the plant.
2. Serve a protective function
against herbivores.
3. Help regulate the loss of water
through opening and closing of
stomata.
4. Allow for the exchange of
gases, such as carbon dioxide and
oxygen
FLOWERS
Flowers are characterized by their
colorful petals and sweet
fragrance. They attract pollinators
like insects and birds that help in
the transfer of pollen from one
flower to another. This transfer of
pollen leads to seed production.
FUNCTION
1.Reproductive structures of
plants, facilitating pollination and
fertilization
2.Attract pollinators through their
colorful petals, fragrances, and
nectar.
3 Develop into fruits that contain
seeds for plant propagation.
 FRUITS
Fruits are the parts of the plant
that contain seeds. They protect
and dispense seeds. They also
provide food for animals. They
are typically sweet or tart in taste
and can be eaten raw or cooked.
 FUNCTIO
N
1.Fruits aid in the dispersal of
seeds, allowing plants to spread
and colonize new areas.
2. Provide protection to seeds
from damage, harsh conditions,
and predators.
3. Serve as a food source for
various organisms, including
animals and humans
 SEEDS
Seeds are typically small, often
protected by a seed coat, and contain
a tiny, undeveloped plant embryo
along with a supply of stored food.
The embryo, seed coat, and stored
food are all necessary for a new plant
to grow and develop.
FUNCTION
1.Seeds carry the genetic information
needed to produce new plants similar
to the parent plant.
2.Often contain stored nutrients that
nourish the developing embryo
during germination.
3. Source of food for animals and
humans, providing nutrition and
sustenance
Plants are amazing because they provide
us with oxygen to breathe, food to eat,
and materials for clothing and shelter.
They also make our environment
beautiful.

Let's appreciate and take care of plants

because they are an essential part of our
lives and our planet.
