What do plants need to grow?

Sunlight

• Plants need sunlight to grow and live.
• Green plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide gas to make food.
• The plant can use some of this food to grow and develop.
• It stores the rest of the food, which animals can eat.
• When animals and humans eat plants they get energy from the plant.

Air

Just like animals and people, plants also need air to live and grow. Plants use carbon dioxide to make food so that they can grow.

Water

Plants need water to grow and to make food. Some plants need more water than others. The amount of water a plant needs depends on the type of plant. If the plant does not get the amount of water it needs it will die. Some plants are able to grow in very dry areas, such as cacti in the desert. These plants have adapted (changed) over many, many years to be able to survive in these conditions.

The roots of the plant absorb water from the soil. This water carries nutrients from the soil to all the parts of the plant. In the picture, the raindrops are collecting on the leaves. They will then fall down to the ground and soak into the soil. The roots will then absorb the water for the plant.
