                                                     Root

                                                     Roots of a plant mostly grow under the soil.

                                                     They hold the plant in the soil and take water from
                                                     the soil.

                    Stem

                    The stem of a plant grows above the soil. Water and

                    food pass through the stem to different parts of the
                    plant. On the stem, many branches grow. We eat                                 Stem

                    stems of potato, sugarcane, ginger etc., as food.                             (trunk)
