Stem Plant part that supports the plant Carries food from leaves to other parts Carries water and minerals from the roots Help the plant stand upright

Leaves Use a gas from the air called carbon dioxide They have chlorophyll which traps energy from the sunlight They take in sunlight They use sun's energy, carbon dioxide, and water to make food They are the main food making part of the plant
