Essential Questions
What are the parts of a plant?
What is the job of each plant part?
4
Seed-
The first stage in the growth of many plants.
Many plants reproduce, or make more plants like
themselves, by forming seeds.
5
Roots-
Part of the plant found underground. Roots hold
a plant in the ground. They take in water and
minerals the plant needs from the soil.
6
Stem-
Connects the roots with the leaves of the plant.
It carries water from the roots to other plant
parts.
7
You may have seen a thin green stem on a flower.
The thick, woody trunks and branches of trees are
also stems.
8
Leaves
Plant parts that grow out of the stem. Leaves
take in the air and light a plant needs. Most
plants have many leaves.
9
Plants are also able to make their own food. This
process is called photosynthesis. It takes place
in the leaves of the plant.
10
Flower-
The reproductive part of the plant. The flower
attracts bees and butterflies to aid in
pollination. Produces the plants seeds.

13
Which plant part connects the roots to the other
plant parts and carries water through the plant?
a. leaves
b. flower
c. stem
14
Which plant part takes the water and minerals the
plant needs from the soil?
a. stem
b. roots
c. leaves
15
Which plant part attracts bees and butterflies to
aid in pollination and produce seeds for the
reproduction of plants?
a. flower
b. leaves
a. stem
16
This part takes in the air and light that the
plant needs. This is also the place where the
plant makes its own food. What part of the plant
am I?
a. seed
b. leaves
c. roots
17
This is the first stage in the life of many
plants. I am created in the flower of the plant.
What am I?
a. seed
b. root
c. pollination

Plants come in all shapes and sizes, but they
have the same parts that do the same jobs.
