**Parts of Plants: Definition, Parts, and Classification** **1. Definition:** A plant is a living organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis. Plants are multicellular and consist of various parts that perform specific functions necessary for survival, growth, and reproduction. **2. Parts of a Plant:** - **Roots:** Anchor the plant to the ground and absorb water and minerals from the soil. - **Stem:** Supports the plant, transports nutrients and water between the roots and leaves, and stores food. - **Leaves:** Primary site for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy. - **Flowers:** Reproductive structures that produce seeds for plant propagation. - **Fruits:** Contain and protect seeds, aiding in their dispersal. - **Seeds:** Contain the embryo of a new plant and provide nourishment for its early growth. **3. Classification of Plant Parts:** - **Vegetative Parts:** Non-reproductive parts that support the plant's growth and survival, including roots, stems, and leaves. - **Reproductive Parts:** Involved in plant reproduction, including flowers, fruits, and seeds.
