The document summarizes various plant parts and their functions. It discusses that roots anchor the plant underground and absorb water and nutrients, with root hairs and nodules helping with absorption. Stems support the plant and transport water, nutrients and food between different parts. Leaves are where photosynthesis occurs to produce food. Flowers contain pollen and ovules for reproduction.
