Hard Facts

Trees have roots, a trunk, branches, and leaves. Roots drink water and take nutrients from soil. Leaves help trees breathe and make oxygen for us.

Photosynthesis means plants make food using sunlight, water, and air (carbon dioxide). That is why plants need light and water to grow.

Soil holds water and nutrients. Healthy soil is not just dirt—there can be tiny living things inside. Soil helps roots stay strong and feed the plant.

Some bugs help gardens (like bees). Some bugs hurt plants (like aphids). We should observe first, then choose a gentle way to protect the plant.
