Plants are living being. They need food, water, and air for survival.
Plants derive from their food from the earth and the air. If you look at their roots, you will find that the ends of these roots are
like fine fibers. We call the root-hair. They absorb waters and minerals, then transport them upward to the leaves though the
trunk and branches, it is the leaves which prepare the food.
The green material, chlorophyll, prepares the food like a machine. It converts the carbon dioxide taken from the air and
water from the ground into sugar with the help of sunlight. This chemical reaction is called photosynthesis. In fact, the
chlorophyll takes energy from the sunlight and uses it to synthesize the hydrogen from water and carbon from carbon dioxide
for making sugar. The reaction also gives out oxygen and water which are excreted by the leaves.
