Plant Parts - Fill in the Blank
Hi, my name is Plant and I have a few different parts. I would like to start with my
________________ which hold me down as they reach into the ground. They are
looking for water and nutrients you see, to send them up my ________________
which is the supportive part of me. My ________________ are very important,
they have a big job to do. They use energy from the sun, water, and air to make
my own food! Another part of me is the one that catches your eye. It is colorful,
and can be different shapes and sizes. That would be the ________________
which also has an important job! It has sweet nectar that attracts insects, and they
will carry away its pollen. When the insects land on other flowers, the new flower
takes the pollen and uses it to make ________________. When you plant them in
the soil my life cycle will begin!
