🫀 Plant System
A plant is a system: roots, stem and leaves each have a job. Find out what every part does, and how the same parts look different across plants.
What you'll learn
- A plant is a system — its parts work together to keep it alive
- The leaf makes food for the plant
- The stem holds the plant up and carries water and food
- The root holds the plant in the ground and takes in water and minerals
- Plant parts can look very different in different plants, but they do the same jobs
