The document discusses the main parts of a plant, including roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. Roots take in water and minerals from the soil and anchor the plant. The stem transports water and raises flowers and leaves towards light. Leaves come in different shapes and make food for the plant using water, minerals from the soil, sunlight, and carbon dioxide. Flowers produce seeds which form new plants.

A PLANT

3.  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.
