Did you ever think that when you are eating
fruits and vegetables, you are eating part of a
plant?
But which part?
First, lets review the different parts of a
plant.
5
Roots
  • Hold the plant in place
  • Absorb water and nutrients like a sponge
  • Store energy for plant

6
Stems
  • Carries water and nutrients to leaves
  • Holds plant up so that it can reach sunlight

7
  • Use sunlight to make food for the plant
  • Have holes to allow air and water to get in and
    out
  • Helps to make the oxygen, or air that we breathe!

Leaves

Flowers
  • Help to make seeds
  • Colors attract bees, butterflies and bats who
    pollinate or fertilize the plants

Fruit
  • Holds and protects seeds
  • Helps to spread seeds

Great Job !
You learned about the parts of plants, and
figured out what part of the plant you are eating
when you have a carrot, lettuce or an apple.

The next time you are munching on a fruit or
vegetable, I dare you to try and figure out what
part it is. the root? the stem? the
leaves? the fruit?
16
You are done!
Now vegge out to some music.. But dont get too
