Students explore external plant parts through real life examples of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds to understand how they work together to help plants survive. Duration: 20-40 minutes.
The stem is an external plant part. The stem is strong and helps hold the plant up. It also lets water and nutrients flow up to the leaves. Some examples of stems we eat are celery, asparagus, and sugar cane. Leaves are an external plant part. Leaves collect sunlight and make food for the plant.

Overview of plant parts: Stem: structural support of the plant; stores nutrients; transfers fluids; produces new tissue Flower: seed-bearing part of the plant; contains the reproductive organs
The children will learn the basic parts of plants (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds) and the function of each part. Objective Description • Learn that di˜erent parts of plants have di˜erent functions • Observe the similarities and di˜erences between plants • Understand the parts of the plant help it survive and grow
All organisms have external parts. Plants have different parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow. (Grades K-2) Plants and animals have both internal and external structures that serve various functions in growth, survival, behavior, and reproduction. (Grades 3-5) LS1.D: Information Processing
Identify the main external structures of the shoot system, including the nodes, internodes, leaves, axillary buds, and axillary shoots. Plant stems, whether above or below ground, are characterized by the presence of nodes and internodes (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)).
