Plant nutrition: Photosynthesis



Plants make their own food, and to do this they need water, soil, sunlight and air. The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil. The water and minerals travel up the stem to the leaves.

Parts of a plant

All plants have leaves, stems and roots.

 Leaves grow from the stems or branches. A leaf uses sunlight to help make its own food.

Deciduous trees lose all their leaves in the fall. Evergreen trees produce new leaves all year.
