WHAT DO PLANTS NEED

TO LIVE?

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

The roots take food and water from the soil and transport it to the stem. It also anchors the plant to the ground.

A stem holds up the leaves and carries the food and water through

the plant.

The leaf collects sunlight to give the plant energy. It takes in

carbon dioxide and gives oxygen.

The flower attracts insects for pollination.

The wind, the water or animals like the bee or the hummingbird transport the pollen from a flower to another to allow the flowers’ reproduction (seeds or fruits formation).
