They eat, drink, and breathe through a process
called photosynthesis.
Wow, what a word!
So what is photosynthesis?
I just sit around all day
Nothin’ to do and nothin’ to say
That’s how it is when you’re a plant
There’s a lotta things that you just can’t
do...*sigh*
But there’s one thing that I can do,
Make oxygen from me to you,
It all comes natural to me
Especially when I’m real hungry.
With energy from the sunlight
(I simply can’t do it at night)
I’ll just soak up your CO2
And add water to make my food.
It’s called photosynthesis
But you ain’t never gonna be as hip as this.
Cause I’m a chlorophyll machine
That’s why I’m looking pretty green.
Throw me out in the spotlight
That’s where I’m gonna shine tonight
Except not at night, because like I said,
Without the sun, well I’d be dead.
And you’d be dead too, without me,
Cause I’m the one that makes the oxygen
you breathe.
So go ahead and water my roots
I’ll do the rest, the name is Groot.
It’s called photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is why we can breathe and stay alive.
And it's how plants can make their food,
from water, light, and CO2.
