3.  Observe all your surroundings. what things do you
see? While coming to school, going back home , going
to playground etc.
 We see many plants around us- around our homes , in
the school ground, on the way to the school, in the
parks and gardens, isn’t it??
 Let us get to know the different parts of plant.
Introduction

4. Parts of plants

5. Absorption of water and nutrients
from the soil.
Storage of food.
Conduction of absorbed water and
nutrients to stem.
Hold the plant.
Functions of root

6.  It supports and holds leaves, flowers,
and fruits.
 Provides energy, keeps the leaves in
the sunlight.
 It carries water and nutrients from the
roots to different parts of plants
(Provides transportation).
Functions of stem

7. Manufacture of food-
 It is the primary function of green leaves.
 The process is called photosynthesis by which leaf
manufactures food material in the presence of
sunlight and green pigment-chlorophyll present in the
leaf.
 The preparation of food material takes place out of
water and carbon-dioxide obtained from the soil and
the air respectively.
Functions of leaf

8. Evaporation of water-
 Water absorbed by the root hairs of the plant is
evaporated from the leaf surface during the day time.
 It generally takes place through the stomata
openings. This phenomenon is known as
transpiration.
 This process allows the plant to absorb water and
minerals from the soil and conduct the same to the
top of the plant.
Functions of leaf

9. Interchange of gases-
 It takes place both from respiration and
photosynthesis.
 There are numerous , minute openings present on the
leaves, called stomata , through which gaseous
exchange takes place between the atmosphere and
the plant body.
Functions of leaf

10.  Development of fruits and seeds.
 Formation of new offspring.
 Protection to male and female reproductive
parts of plant.
 Primary purpose of a flower is reproduction.
 Reproductive part of most plants.
Functions of flower

11.  Plant are one source of our food.
 Which parts of a plant??
 We eat many leafy vegetables.
 We eat fruits of some plants.
 Seed of mustard plant give us oil and the
leaves are used as vegetables.
 Sometimes roots , stems , and even flowers.
Importance

12.  Edible parts-some plants have two or more edible(eatable)
parts.
 Think of more examples where two or more parts of a
single plant are used as food!!
 Root-carrots , onions, beetroot etc.
 Stem- sugarcane , celery etc.
 Leaf-cabbage , spinach etc.
 Flower- broccoli , cauliflower etc.
 Fruit-tomato, apple, cucumber etc.
 Seeds-peas , beans etc.
Plant Parts

13.  Take some dry seeds of moong or chana.
 Put a small quantity of seeds in a container filled with
water.
 Leave this aside for a day.
 Next day, drain the water completely and leave the seeds
in the vessel.
 Wrap them with a piece of wet cloth and set aside.
 What changes do you observe??
 A small white structure may have grown out of the seeds.
Activity Time

14.  If so , the seeds have sprouted.
 After washing these sprouted seeds, you can eat
them. They can also be boiled . Add some spices and
get a tasty snack.
Activity Time

15.  Seeds are the part of the plant that make new
plants.
 When they germinate(starts to grow) , they
will develop into new plants.
SEEDS

16.  Do you know where honey comes from or how it is
produced??
 Have you seen a beehive where so many bees keep
buzzling about ?
 Bees collect nectar(sweet juices) from flowers, convert it
into honey and store it in their hive.
 Flowers and their nectar may be available only for a part of
the year.
 So, bees store this nectar for their use all through the year.
When we find such a beehive, we collect the food stored
by the bees as honey.
Do you know??

17.  Parts of plant are-roots , stem, leaf and flower.
 Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil.
 Stem conducts water to other parts of plants.
 The Leaves prepare food.
 Flower is the reproductive part of plant.
 Seeds make new plants.
