Plants are living things that make their own food through photosynthesis. They need water, minerals, air and sunlight to grow. Plants have roots, stems and leaves and can be classified as trees, grasses, bushes, deciduous or evergreen. Flowers have parts like petals, sepals, pistils and stamens that help plants reproduce by making seeds which grow into new plants. We get many useful things from plants and should protect them by supporting parks and not littering or damaging plants.
