Solution
The various parts of the plants are:
- Roots: They absorb water and minerals from the soil and also anchor the plant firmly in the soil.
- Stems: Spread out branches to bear leaves, flowers, and fruits; conduct water and minerals to different plant parts; and perform functions of storage, support, protection, and vegetative propagation.
- Leaf: They are called ‘food factories’ of a plant. They carry out photosynthesis, a process by which they synthesize their food.
- Flower: In plants, the flower is the functional unit concerned with the sexual reproduction of plants.
- Fruits: They have different shapes and contain one or more seeds.
