What children learn in Level 51

Most plants have four main parts: roots, a stem, leaves, and flowers. Let's look at each one!
The roots grow under the ground, so we usually can't see them.
The stem grows up from the roots. Leaves grow out from the stem. Most leaves are green and flat.
The flower often has bright, colorful petals. Scientists draw models like this to show the parts.
Your turn! Put the parts in order, from the ground up.
