In the chapter 'Getting to Know Plants' for Class 3 Odisha BSE students, children learn about the wonderful world of plants around us. Students explore different parts of a plant including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits, understanding how each part helps the plant grow and stay alive. They also learn to classify plants into herbs, shrubs, trees, climbers, and creepers based on their size and stem type.

Why do some plants need support to grow?
Plants like the money plant or pea plant are called climbers because they have very weak stems and cannot stand straight on their own, so they need support to climb up.
