Plants

The main parts of a plant — root, stem, leaf and flower — and what plants need to grow, with an interactive exercise.

Plants are living things. Most plants have four main parts: root, stem, leaf and flower.

The roots hold the plant in the soil and take in water. The stem holds up the plant. The leaves make food using sunlight. The flower can grow into fruit and seeds.

Plants need water, air and sunlight to live and grow.

Remember

  • Plant parts: root, stem, leaf, flower.
  • Plants need water, air and sunlight.
