00:00Oh! Hello kids and welcome to my show.

00:04Today, let's talk about plants.

00:08Plants are very similar to humans.

00:11And, just like humans have different body parts doing different things..

00:16..similarly, plants too have different parts for different functions.

00:21Interesting, isn't it?

00:23Let me tell you what the important parts of a plant are.

00:28Leaves, bud, flower, stem, fruit and roots.

00:37Let's take a closer look at the buds..

00:39..that protect the baby flower or the baby leaf..

00:43..from the harmful elements of nature.

00:45This is a flower.

00:48It is the most beautiful part of a plant.

00:52It's usually colourful and attracts bees and other insects.

00:58These are the leaves.

01:00The leaf is one of the most important parts of a plant.

01:04It has a green pigment called chlorophyll..

01:07..which absorbs the sunlight and makes food.

01:21This is a fruit.

01:23A fruit is a part of a plant that contains excess food and seed.

01:28All fruits might not be sweet and edible, but is still a fruit.

01:37And sometimes, they also help the plant to disperse their seed.

01:44This is a stem.

01:46A stem acts like a pillar of a plant.

01:50It holds the plant upright and carries water, food and minerals..

01:55..to the parts of the plant from the roots.

01:58The roots help to absorb water and minerals from the soil..

02:02..and also acts as an anchor.

02:05When the winds are too harsh, the root makes sure..

02:09..that the plant stays firm in the soil and doesn't get carried away.

02:15Trivia Time!

02:18Did you know, 90% of the food that humans eat..

02:21..come from 30 species of plants..
