The 7 Main Parts of Plants

Worksheet Description

Plants have different parts that help them grow and stay healthy. These parts work together just like the different parts of our body.

1. Roots: Think of roots as a plant’s anchor. They are usually underground and hold the plant in place. Roots also suck up water and nutrients from the soil. This is like plants drinking through a straw!

2. Stem: The stem is like a plant’s backbone. It holds the plant upright and helps transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. It’s like the plant’s plumbing system!

3. Leaves: Leaves are like the plant’s food factories. They use sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air, and water from the roots to make food through a process called photosynthesis. Leaves come in all shapes and sizes!

4. Flowers: Flowers are like a plant’s way of making more plants. They have pretty colors and sweet smells to attract insects and birds. These critters help spread pollen from one flower to another, which leads to the creation of seeds.
