Wednesday: Parts of a plant

Rocket draws a plant with only leaves.

"Done!" he says.

Raven asks, "What do you notice under the soil?"

Nova says, "Look from the bottom to the top."

From bottom to top

Most plants have the same main parts.

Roots grow down under the soil.

The stem grows up from the roots.

Leaves grow out from the stem.

Many plants grow flowers too.
