What is a Plant:

1. Living Organism: A plant is a living thing that grows and develops in the soil. The part of the plant that is above the soil level is the shoot while the part of the plant thar is in the soil is the root
2. Produces its Own Food: Plants make their own food through a process called photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight and water.
3. Roots: Plants have roots that anchor them in the soil and absorb water and nutrients.
4. Stems: Stems provide support for the plant and transport water and nutrients.
5. Leaves: Leaves are where photosynthesis occurs, converting sunlight into food for the plant.
6. Flowers: Some plants produce flowers, which contain seeds for reproduction.
7. Fruits: Fruits are produced by some plants and contain seeds for new plant growth.
8. Oxygen Production: Plants release oxygen into the air as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
9. Habitat: Plants can live in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and deserts.
10. Importance: Plants are important for providing food, oxygen, shelter, and beauty in our environment.
