Hello! Let's learn how plants get what they need to grow.
Plants have roots that grow underground. The roots are like little straws that drink water from the soil. But water isn't just plain water; it has tiny amounts of nutrients, which are like food, mixed in it.
When the roots take in water, they also take in these nutrients. The water and nutrients travel up through the stem to the leaves and other parts of the plant. This helps the plant grow big and strong.
So, remember: plants drink water with their roots, and the nutrients in the water help them stay healthy.
