Plants are living things. Like animals, they grow and change. Plants can move, too. They move differently from how we move. Read on to learn about plants.
Plants move.
Their roots move to find water. Their flowers turn toward the sun. This is a queen of the night. It closes to protect itself from the sun.
Plants need energy.
They do not eat. They make their own food. This is called photosynthesis. They use sunlight, water, and air.
Plants grow.
They get bigger over time. Some plants get very big. This is a sapling. It will grow into a tall oak tree.
Plants reproduce.
Plants grow from seeds. Apple trees blossom. The flowers turn into fruit. There are seeds inside. These can grow new trees.
