 Can
you live on air and water? Green plants can. They need light too -
and some warmth. The leaves are the factories that produce the material
the plants need to grow and flower. The roots anchor the plant and
take water from the soil. The flower produces the seeds to make new
plants.
If you keep plants in good conditions, they will grow well. If you
meet all their needs, they will grow well. If you put them in a dark
cupboard, plants will still grow. But they will be long, yellow and
straggly as they search for the light.

Without green plants, there would be no
life on Earth. Plants make the oxygen you breathe. Plants make the
food you eat, the clothes you wear - even the furniture you sit on. |
