Hot 3 ||
Plants are made up of many parts . three of the most important are their roots ,stems, and leaves . all three of them have various functions . the roots are found at the bottom of the plant . roots grow underground . they help anchor the plant to ground . this keeps the plant from being washed away by rain or blown away by the wind also, a plant's roots help it extract nutrients from the ground . these nutrients include water and various minerals .
The stems have several important responsibilities . first , they move water and nutrients from the roots to leaves . they also store some nutrients and water if the plant has too much of them . and they transport food , such as sap , down from the leaves to the roots . finally , they provide support for the leaves .
The leaves have a very important role . they contain chloroplasts . these let photosynthesis take place . because of this , plants can create sugar, which they use for food . and they also take carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen . this lets all of the other animals on Earth breathe.
