1095 - What are the external components of common plants?

The main external components of common plants are:

  1. Roots: They are underground and help to hold the plant in place and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
  2. Stem: It is the long, thin part that connects the roots to the leaves. It helps to support the plant and move water and nutrients around.
  3. Leaves: They are the green parts that use sunlight, water, and air to make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis.
  4. Flowers (if the plant has them): These are colorful parts that help the plant make seeds, which can grow into new plants.
  5. Seeds (if the plant has them): They are small parts that grow into new plants.

These are the main external components of most common plants!
