Flowers: produce seeds inside fruits; attracts pollinators such as bats, birds, and insects
Stems: carries water and minerals from roots to leaves and flowers; provides support and allows leaves to reach sunlight Roots: provides support anchoring plant and absorbing water and nutrients; stores sugar and carbohydrates
Leaves: creates food; site of photosynthesis (water, sunlight, carbon dioxide= food and oxygen); openings allow water and air to come/go
