Parts of a Tree

A plant has many parts. Each part is very crucial.

A plant starts from a small seed.

Roots act like the feet of a plant and they bring water to the stem.

The stem or trunk is the body of the tree or plant.

From the stem, there are a lot of branches.

The stem is covered with bark. Bark protects the stem.

The leaves absorb the sunlight and turn it into food.

This process is called photosynthesis.

Flowers turn into fruit and fruit produces seeds.
