Friday: Plant parts all around

Rocket reaches for a rose. "Ouch, a prickle!"

Raven asks, "Why does a rose have prickles?"

Nova says, "Think about hungry animals."

Parts that protect

Some plants have sharp thorns or prickles.

They help keep animals from eating the plant.

That is another job a plant part can do.

Plant parts we eat

A carrot is a root.

Spinach is leaves.

We eat many plant parts every day.
