The roots anchor the plant in the ground and absorb water and minerals from the soil. Stems Stems carry water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and hold the leaves up to the sun. During the hours of daylight, the leaves collects the sun's energy and turn it into food for the plant. This is called photosynthesis. Flowers Flowers are where the seeds from the plant are made.
Flowers attract insects, which pollinate flowers.
Fruit A fruit is the part of the plant that contains and protects the seeds. The fruit can be hard or soft, big or small, but it must have seeds in it to qualify as a fruit. A seed is a tiny life-support package containing genetic information and nutrients in an embryo, from which a new, baby plant called a seedling will develop. Smart Seeds 4.
