Every part has a job. We are going to start at the bottom of our plant and work our way up. That is right. The roots to this plant are still under ground. Roots hold a plant in place.
Roots take water and things from the soil called minerals up to the rest of the plant.
Now point to the roots on your plant. Tell your partner what their job is. Stems hold up the leaves and flowers. Stems have little tubes in them that work like a straw. They take water and food to the rest of the plant.
