Oh! Hello kids and welcome to my show
Today let's talk about plants
Plants are very similar to humans and 
just like humans have different body parts
doing different things, 
similarly, plants too have different parts
for different functions.
Interesting, isn't it?
Let me tell you what the important parts of a plant are.
Leaves, bud, flower, stem, fruit and roots.
Let's take a closer look at the buds
that protect the baby flower 
or the baby leaf from the harmful elements of nature.
This is a flower.
It is the most beautiful part of a plant.
It's usually colourful and attracts bees and other insects.
These are the leaves
The leaf is one of the most important parts of a plant
It has a green pigment called chloroplyll
which absorbs the sunlight and makes food.
This is a fruit
A fruit is a part of a plant that contains 
excess food and seed.
All fruits might not be sweet and edible 
but is still a fruit.
And sometimes, they also help the plant
 to disperse their seed. 
This is a stem.
A stem acts like a pillar of a plant.
It holds the plant upright and carries 
water, food and minerals to the parts of the plant
from the roots.
The roots help to absorb 
water and minerals from the soil
and also acts as an anchor
When the winds are too harsh
the roots make sure that the plant stays firm
in the soil and doesn't get carried away.
 Did you know
90% of the food that humans eat 
come from 30 species of plants
But the earth has more than 80,000 species 
of edible plants.
So kids, why don't you rush to your garden 
and see the parts of the plant yourself?
Tune in next time for more fun facts.
This is me Zooming Out!
