This document summarizes the key parts of plants including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. It describes the functions of each part and provides examples. It also outlines the main kinds of plants - trees, shrubs, herbs, and vines - and highlights some distinguishing characteristics such as size, lifespan, and whether they bear flowers or fruit.

1. PLANTS
- P A R T S
- K I N D S

2. PARTS OF THE
PLANT

3. ROOTS
• parts of the plant that are buried
in the soil from which they absorb
water and minerals. Also hold
plant firmly to the ground.
• Two types:
- Taproot – large main root with
smaller roots branching out. Ex:
sugar beet, carrot, and radish.
- Fibrous – network of slender
roots, hence its fiber like
appearance and no main root. Ex:
rice, corn, grass, and onion

5. STEM
• part that transports water and
minerals from the roots to the
other parts of the plant. Also
holds the leaves, flowers, and
fruits of the plants.
• Two types:
- Woody stems – hard and stiff. Ex:
various kinds of trees
- Herbaceous stems – soft and
flexible. Ex: kogon grass, aloe vera,
kangkong, kamote, and garlic

6. LEAF
• part where the plant makes its food
in a process called photosynthesis.
• Made of parts:
- Apex – tip
- Petiole – stalk connects the leaf to
the stem
- Blade – flat structure on each side of
the middle main vein
- Midrib – middle main vein
- Stomata – small openings
- Guard cells – open and closes the
stomata, allowing the exchange of
the gases like CO2 and oxygen.

7. • Leaves differ on size, shape, and color. They can be small or big. They can
vary from round to oval to heart-shaped.
• Most leaves are green due to chlorophyll, a pigment that is found in
plant cells called chloroplast.

8. • Venation – arrangement of veins.
– Veins – structures that serve as passageway of water and nutrients needed
by leaves. They also provide support to the leaves.

9. FLOWER
• main reproductive part of a plant. It produces seeds from which young
plants grow and develop.
• Parts:
- Stamen – male reproductive part of a flower.
- Filament – thin stalk that holds the anther, which bears the pollen grains.
- Pistil – female reproductive part
- Stigma – sticky part that traps the pollen grains
- Ovary – contains the ovule, later becomes fruit, ovule becomes the seed
- Style – stalk connects the stigma to the ovary
- Sepals – small, green, leaflike structures that cover, and protect the bud and
hold the petals together.
- Petals – colorful parts that attract insects.

11. FRUIT
• part that contains the seeds.
• seeds – part that grows
develops into a new plant.
• Fruits of plants differ in shape,
size, color, and texture.

12. KINDS OF
PLANTS

13. TREE
• A plant that is big and tall and
generally lives for many years.
• It has a main woody stem called
trunk.
• Its roots are long and big.
• Most trees bear flowers and
produce fruits.
• Ex: mango tree, coconut, and
narra tree.

14. SHRUBS
• Looks like small tree
• Has several woody stems and
hard fibrous roots
• Most shrubs are flowering plants
• They only live for few years than
trees
• Ex: santan, gumamela, rose, and
rosal

15. HERBS
• Plant with soft juicy stems and
doft fibrous roots.
• Also bears flowers
• Different part of this plant are
used as food and material for
medicine
• Live for shorter time than shrubs
and trees
• Ex: mayana, katakataka, oregano,
garlic, and pechay

16. VINES
• Plant that has weak stem and
roots that cannot support the
whole plant, so it climbs or
creeps on the ground or on walls
• Some also attach themselves to
some support, such as sticks,
trellises, or other plants
• Have shorter life spans than
other kinds
• Ex: ampalaya, squash, patola, and
upo
