Nature Study Book - Plants

Dear pupils,

We discussed about what makes up a plant during your Science Lesson yesterday. These were the following parts discussed and you've copied down in your Nature Study Book in the form of a Mind-map.

Plants -> Roots
          -> Stems
          -> Leaves
          -> Flowers
          -> Fruits

I need you to think about any words that comes to your mind about each of the parts discussed and write them down. For example, you can write down branches under "Stem" and chlorophyll and sunlight under "Leaves"
