What are plants?

Plants are living things that are made up of cells. They need air,
water, soil, and sunlight to live. They cannot move from place to
place, but their leaves move to catch the sun and their roots move towards
water. Their seeds can be carried by animals or blown by the
wind.
    We get food from all different parts of the plant: flowers, fruits, vegetables,
seeds, nuts, stems, and leaves. Grass gives us a cool, soft place to
walk. Some plants give us medicine, and trees are used to make
paper and furniture.

Over 270,000 species of plants have been identified
and classified, but scientists believe that there are
millions more waiting to be discovered
