Oh! Hello kids and welcome to my show

Today let's talk about plants

Plants are very similar to humans and

just like humans have different body parts

doing different things,

similarly, plants too have different parts

for different functions.

Interesting, isn't it?

Let me tell you what the important parts of a plant are.

Leaves, bud, flower, stem, fruit and roots.

Let's take a closer look at the buds

that protect the baby flower

or the baby leaf from the harmful elements of nature.

This is a flower.

It is the most beautiful part of a plant.

It's usually colourful and attracts bees and other insects.

These are the leaves

The leaf is one of the most important parts of a plant

It has a green pigment called chloroplyll

which absorbs the sunlight and makes food.

This is a fruit

A fruit is a part of a plant that contains

excess food and seed.

All fruits might not be sweet and edible

but is still a fruit.

And sometimes, they also help the plant

to disperse their seed.

This is a stem.

A stem acts like a pillar of a plant.

It holds the plant upright and carries

water, food and minerals to the parts of the plant

from the roots.

The roots help to absorb

water and minerals from the soil

and also acts as an anchor

When the winds are too harsh

the roots make sure that the plant stays firm

in the soil and doesn't get carried away.

Did you know

90% of the food that humans eat

come from 30 species of plants

But the earth has more than 80,000 species

of edible plants.

So kids, why don't you rush to your garden

and see the parts of the plant yourself?

Tune in next time for more fun facts.
