A _________________________________
Plants are living things, just like you are. They’re everywhere. You can find them in some homes, in parks, in gardens and in the countryside. Plants have three important parts: the roots, the stem and the leaves. Some plants also have flowers.
B _________________________________
The roots keep the plant in the ground and hold it up. They also take in water from the soil. Leaves catch sunlight to help the plant to make its own food. The plant uses this food to help it grow. Flowers attract insects and birds. The stem holds the plant up and carries water to the leaves.
C _________________________________
All plants, even those living in deserts, need water to survive. Plants use water to keep their roots, stems, leaves, and flowers healthy. Plants absorb water from the soil. The water moves through the roots and travels up the stem. The water goes from the stem to the leaves.
1. Read the text and match headings (1-3) with paragraphs (A-C).
1. Water transportation.
2. Parts of a plant.
3. Jobs the parts of a plant do. 2. Underline the parts of a plant in the text and write them down.
1. 3. 2. 4.
3. Read paragraph C and answer the questions.
1. What do plants need to survive? Why?
2. Where do plants absorb their water from?
3. Which parts of the plants do you think are helping the plant taking up the water? 4. Choose the correct picture of water transportation.
