Fascinating Fact:

A sunflower’s head is actually made up of hundreds of tiny flowers packed together.

In KS2 Science, children learn that each part of a plant has an important job. Roots absorb water, stems support the plant, leaves make food, and flowers help with reproduction.

Key Terms

  • Photosynthesis: The process plants use to make food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
  • Roots: The underground parts of a plant that anchor it and absorb water and nutrients.
  • Pollination: The transfer of pollen that allows flowers to produce seeds.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are the main parts of a plant in KS2 Science?

The main parts of a plant are the roots, stem, leaves, and flowers. Each part has a job, such as taking in water or making seeds.

Why are leaves important to plants?

Leaves are important because they use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis, which provides energy for the whole plant.

How do flowers help plants reproduce?

Flowers help plants reproduce by making pollen and seeds. Pollinators like bees move pollen so new seeds can grow into plants.
