Most plants have three main parts: roots, stems, and leaves. The rootsare in the ground. They hold the plant in the soil. Roots take up water and minerals the plant needs.
Stems usually are above ground. They carry food and water. The
stems of some plants, such as dandelions, are thin and delicate. Treeshave thick, strong stems. The stems are trunks covered wi th bark.
Leaves come out of the stems of plants. Green plants use light, water,minerals, and carbon dioxide (a gas in the air) to make food in their leaves.
