A typical plant is made up of four main parts. These are (1) roots, (2) stems, (3) leaves, and (4) flowers. The roots, stems, and leaves are called the vegetative parts of a plant. The flowers, which includes fruit, and seeds are known as the reproductive parts.

Most roots grow underground, and absorb from the soil absorb the water and minerals that the plant needs to grow. The roots of some plants float freely in water or attach themselves to tree branches.

Stems include the trunk, branches, and twigs and make up the largest parts of some kinds of plants, particularly the common trees. Other plants, such as cabbage and lettuce, have such short stems that they appear to have no stems at all. The stems of some other plants like potatoes, grow partly underground.

Most stems grow upright and support the leaves and reproductive organs of plants, holding these parts up in position where they can receive sunlight.

Leaves differ greatly in size and shape. The largest leaves are those of the raffia palm, which grow up to 20 metres long and 2.5 metres wide. Most plants have broad, flat leaves with smooth edges. Edges of leaves of some plants are toothed or wavy. A few kinds of leaves, such as those of pine trees and cactuses, are rounded and have sharp ends.

Roots also anchor the plant in the soil. The roots of some plants such as beets, carrots, radishes and sweet potatoes also store food for the rest of the plant to use.
