LT-C2.4 Describe broad functions of the main parts of flowering plants
 The simple structure of flowering plants.
The root system of a plant is required to take up water & minerals.
Roots also give anchorage to the plants.
The stem allows water & minerals to move up & food to move around.
The leaves make the food.
The flowers allow reproduction.
