Fun Plant Facts: Explore Roots, Leaves, and Flowers

A plant is a living organism, typically with roots, stems, and leaves. Examples include trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses.

External anatomy of plants:

  1. Plant roots are the tough, sometimes woody shoots that grow into the ground. Roots take in water and nutrients from the soil.
  2. Leaves are often the flat, green growths on the upper part of the plant. Leaves are green because of a substance called chlorophyll.
  3. Stems are the main stalk of the plant. They are usually above ground, but sometime also go underground.
  4. Flowers are the seed-bearing part of the plant and often have brightly colored petals.
  5. Plants grow seeds. Seeds are small plants in a protective covering. A seed is capable of growing into another plant.
