PARTS OF A PLANT

  Leaves: These are the parts of the plant where food is made by  photosynthesis.
 Flowers: These are the reproductive parts of a plant.  Flower petals and the flowers smell attract insects and bees to pollinate the flower.
 Stems:  These support the upper parts of plants.  Water and dissolved nutrients from the soil travel up the stem in a system of tubes.  Food from the leaves travel down stems to the roots.  Stems also store food for the plant.

Roots: These anchor plants in the soil.  Water and minerals are taken from the soil through the roots.  Many plants such as carrots, store food in their roots.

Seeds: these contain a tiny embryo of a plant inside.  The seed halves contain food which supplies energy and materials for growth until the plant grows its first leaves above the ground.
