Plant Parts
Make food for the plant.
Leaf
What is the function of the roots?
Anchors the plant in place, soaks up water and nutrients from the soil, and stores food for the plant.
The brightly colored part of the flower that attracts insects.
Petal
Source of energy required for photosynthesis.
Sunlight
Absorbs water and nutrients for the plant
Roots
What is the function of the seed?
Allows new plants to grow.
The part of the flower that produces pollen.
Stamen
You’ll find most photosynthesis happening in this green part of the plant.
Leaves
Animals, wind, and water can help spread these plant parts so new plants can grow in different places.
What is the function of the stem?
Supports the upper structures of the plant; it works as a transportation system for the plant (like a straw) by carrying water and nutrients to the plant.
The central part of a flower that produces the seed.
Pistil
Gas plants absorb for photosynthesis.
Carbon Dioxide
Part of the plant that helps reproduce.
Flower
What is the function of the leaf?
Leaves are responsible for making food for the plant in a process called photosynthesis.
Protects the flower before it blooms.
Sepal
Main pigment in plants.
Chlorophyll
Carried water and food (nutrients)
Stem
What is the function of the flower?
The parts inside allow the plant to reproduce (make more plants), and the petals attract pollinators.
The sticky part of the flower that traps pollen from pollinators.
Stigma
The products of photosynthesis.
Glucose (sugar) and Oxygen
