    Plants need sunlight and water to live and grow healthy. A plant has different parts including roots, stems and leaves that work together to keep the plant alive. Roots collect water and minerals from soil while stems carry water and minerals from roots to the rest of the plant. Leaves capture sunlight to produce food for the plant through photosynthesis.

    PLANT STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

    Overview
    Plants are living organisms made up of cells. Plants need sunlight and
    water to live and grow healthy.

    Many plants, but not all plants, produce flowers, which make fruit and
    seeds in order for the plant to reproduce.

    Lesson Checkpoint:
    What does a plant need in order to survive?

    Parts of a Plant
    A plant has different parts that are all important in keeping the plant
    alive and healthy.

    Roots:
     A plant’s roots collect water and minerals from soil for the rest
    of the plant.
     The roots also help anchor the plant down so that it doesn’t come
    out of the ground during bad weather, such as heavy wind storms.
     The roots of a plant can store food for the plant but roots can’t
    make food.
     Roots often grow root hairs which help absorb water and nutrients
    from the soil. Sign In Sign Up

    There are two different types of root systems:


    • A fibrous root system has many roots that grow in many
    different directions. Those many roots absorb water and
    nutrients from the soil.

    • Plants that have a taproot system have only one large main
    root growing from the plant’s stem.

    Lesson Checkpoint:
    What are the two kinds of plant roots systems?

    Stem:
     The main job of a plant’s stem is to carry water and minerals from
    the roots to the rest of the plant.
     Plant stems also help support the plant so that it is able to reach
    sunlight which is needed by plants to make their own food and grow
    healthy. Sign In Sign Up

    Leaves:
    We know that plants make their own food, but where does this food
    making happen in a plant? It happens in the LEAVES of a plant!
     First of all, plants need sunlight in order to make their own food.
    The leaves of most plants are flat so that they are able to
    capture as much sunlight as possible.

     Every plant leaf contains chlorophyll, which is the green
    material that gives plants their green color. Chlorophyll
    captures sunlight which is needed by the plant to make its own
    food.
     The process of plants making their own food is called
    photosynthesis. The food made through the process of
    photosynthesis in plants is sugar. Two important ingredients
    needed for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water. Plants
    use the energy from the sun to change water and carbon
    dioxide into food for the plant. Oxygen and water are the
    waste products of photosynthesis.

     Oxygen and water leave the plant through tiny openings found
    underneath the leaves of a plant which are called stomata.

     The process of water leaving a plant through the tiny openings,


    stomata, under each leaf is called transpiration.

     In order for a plant to get energy from the food it has made and
    stored, one more process needs to occur: respiration.
    Respiration is the process of a plant taking in oxygen at night
    and using it to get energy from the food it has stored.
