Answer:

Plants as a Source of Food

Much of the food we eat comes from plants, trees, crops, bushes, leaves and sometimes even roots. The most obvious examples of the foods we source from plants are fruits and vegetables. All of the fruits and vegetables grow on plants.

Another such example of food from plants are crops. These are rice, wheat, maize, millets, barley etc. which are the seeds of the crop plants. After we grom them, they are harvested. The majority of processed food like flour, bread, biscuits etc we consume is sourced from crop plants.

Now those animals who only eat food obtained from plants are known as herbivores. Some examples are cows, zebras, hippos, giraffes, buffalos etc. Then humans who only rely on foods from plants are vegetarians. Let us take at examples of some foods we get from plants and their different parts

Fruits: Apples, Oranges, Bananas, Mangoes

Leaves: Spinach, Coriander, Kale, Lettuce

Root: Potato, Carrots, Turnips

Seeds: Rice, wheat, maize, nuts (peanuts, almonds)
