Nature is all around us. Plants are a very important part of our world. They help us in many ways. Plants are a food source for us. They also produce the oxygen that we breathe. This book will discuss the important plant parts.

The roots are a vital part to all plants. Plants need roots for storing food. They also need roots to suck up the water for the whole plant. Roots also provide plants with stability. They are able to stand upright without falling down.

Some roots are taproots. These roots usually have one main root. Some roots are fibrous. They have many roots.

Plants also need water. Without water, plants would not survive.

Plants also need sunlight to survive. Sunlight is used to make food in a process called photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is where plants convert sunlight into sugar (which is the food for the plant). The leaves take in the light and make sugar.
