Learn how plants use their roots to drink water and get nutrients from the soil in a simple and fun way for young kids.
Hello! Let's talk about how plants get the things they need to grow big and strong.
Plants have special parts called roots. These roots grow down into the soil, which is full of tiny bits of food called nutrients and lots of water.
The roots act like straws and take in the water and the nutrients from the dirt. Then, the water and nutrients travel up the roots into the plant's stem, reaching the leaves and other parts.
This is how plants drink water and eat food so they can grow tall and healthy, just like how you need food and water to grow!
