Plant Parts and their functions
ROOTS
The roots are what hold the plant in place and also allows the plant to draw nutrition and minerals needed for growth.
STEM
The stem is what helps the plant grow straight ,and it is the transport system for water and minerals coming from the ground.
LEAVES
The leaves of a plant are the food factory for the plant and they produce energy through photosynthesis that the plant needs. Leaves are also covered by a cuticle and stomata to help prevent water loss in plants. when water is loss through the stomata it is called transpiration.
FLOWERS
The flower is the site of reproduction for the plants. Weather and insects are responsible for transferring pollen from one plant to another during fertilization.
