Herbs, Shrubs, and Trees
Plants are of different sizes. Very small and soft plants are called herbs, medium-sized bushy plants are called shrubs, and tall, strong plants with thick trunks are called trees.
Roots and Stem
Roots stay under the soil and absorb water and minerals for the plant. The stem stands upright above the ground and carries water and food to all other parts of the plant.
Leaves (The Kitchen)
Leaves are usually green and prepare food for the plant using sunlight, air, and water, which is why they are called the kitchen of the plant.
Flowers and Fruits
Flowers are the most colorful part of the plant that grow into juicy and sweet fruits, which contain seeds to make new plants.
Uses of Plants
Plants give us fruits, vegetables, grains, medicines, and wood, and they keep the air clean and fresh for us to breathe.
