What are the main parts of a plant?
The leaves grow from the plant branches. They use
sunlight to transform water and carbon dioxide into
nutrients (photosynthesis). They also release oxyden into
the air.
The stem is usually long and grows above the ground.
The plant's nutrients circulate inside the stem. It also
has secondary stems, called branches.
The roots grow underground and fix the
plant in one place. They absorb water and
minerals from the soil.
Where do plants live?
All plants need liquid water,
sunlight and air to survive.
Vegetation is the diferent types of
plants that we can find in one place.

How do plants reproduce without seeds?
Some plants, such as ferns
and mosses, don't use seeds
to reproduce.

spores that the wind carries to
a new area.
The spores then produce
roots and a new plant grows.
