This document outlines the main parts of a plant including seeds, roots, stems, and leaves. Seeds come in different shapes and sizes and can travel via air, water, or animals. Roots anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Stems provide structure and support for leaves and flowers. Leaves come in various shapes, sizes, and textures and allow the plant to photosynthesize. The stages of plant growth are shown progressing from seed to seedling to mature plant. Each plant has its own unique qualities demonstrating plant diversity.
