Maist plants growe in the grund, wi stocks abuin, an ruits ablow. Watter an some nutrients come frae the ruits. The evaporation o watter frae pores in the leafs pulls watter throu the plant. This is cawed transpiration.
A plant needs sunlicht, carbon dioxide, minerals an watter for tae mak fuid. A green substance in plants cried chlorophyll traps the energy frae the Sun needed tae mak fuid. Chlorophyll is maistly fund in leafs, inside plastids, that are inside the leaf cells. The leaf can be thocht o as a fuid factory. Leafs o plants vary in shape an size, but thay are aye the plant organ best suited tae fang solar energy. Ance the fuid is made in the leaf, it is transportit tae the ither pairts o the plant sic as stocks an ruits. [1][2]
Plants can reproduce in different kinds ay ways. Some plants use seeds, an others use cones. Most flouerin' plants develop fruit frae their flouers, which then graw aroond their seeds.
