The document names and describes the main plant parts: flowers, leaves, stems, and roots. Roots fix the plant to the ground and take in water and nutrients from the soil. The stem holds the plant up and passes water and nutrients. Leaves breathe in carbon dioxide from the air and breathe out oxygen, taking in energy from the sun through photosynthesis to make food for the plant.
