Look at the big flower. It has many parts. Each part has a job to do. The roots are under the ground. You cannot see them. The roots hold the plant in the dirt. They drink water from the soil. The plant needs water to live.
The stem is long and green. It stands up tall. The stem moves water to the leaves. The leaves are green and flat. They love the sun. Leaves use sunlight to make food for the plant.
The flower is at the top. It has pretty colors. The colors bring bees to the plant. The flower makes seeds. The seeds fall down. A new plant grows from the seed. All the parts work together.
