We need Plants because they give us:
1. Oxygen
2. Food - Fruits, Vegetables, Cereals, Pulses, Oils And Spices
3. Shade during Summer
4. Fuel/ Heat
5. Medicine, Paper, Gum, Rubber and Perfumes

Basic part of most of the plants are Roots, Stems, Leaves, Flowers,
Fruits and Seeds. The roots help provide support to the plant by

Photosynthesis - It is a process used by plants to make energy. The
sun (Light energy), water, minerals and carbon dioxide are all
absorbed by the plant. The plant then uses them to make glucose/
sugar, which is the energy/food for the plant. Oxygen is produced by
the plant in this cycle, which is then let off into the air.
