These make food for the plant by an amazing chemical process in the presence of light called 'photosynthesis'.

Photosynthesis |
(sounds like
"foh-toe-sin-th-sis") This is the process whereby plants capture energy from the sun and combine it with carbon dioxide in the air and with water from the soil. This produces food for the plant in the form of sugars and starches. Oxygen is released when a plant photosynthesises! |

This is the part of the plant that will grow into a new plant of the same type. Seeds can also be called pips, stones, beans, pulses or nuts!

The part of the plant that links the roots to the leaves and flowers. It carries water and minerals to these parts. It also lets the plant grow up towards the light. |
