               Plant Parts and Examples

Cycads
Cycads need rich soil from a good location. They also need lots of moisture from  the ground. Cycads are ancient plants from the Dinosaur age.

Parasitic Plants
The Parasitic Plants can't make their own food so they stick on to another plant and get food.

Succulents
The Succulent Plants have very hard skin.(Example a cactus have very hard and hurtful skin). The Succulent Plants need or live in a very hot climate and dry climate like a desert.

Aquatic Plants
The Aquatic Plants need lots of moisture from the ground like the Cycads and the Aquatic Plants also live underwater. They need a very hot or cold environment.

Seeds
Some plants produce their own seeds. Some plants like the sunflower can spread seeds seeds around by the wind. Some animals bury seeds to grow and eat. Sometimes the animal forgets and the plant can grow. Some fruit, when an animal eats it they leave the seed and the seed grows a new plant/tree.

Starting to grow

Plants need warmth from the sun to provide energy that they need. A good place for plants to live is the soil in a hot location and some don't need to stay in a hot location. The new plant absorbs water and minerals from the soil. Plants need light to grow and water.

Plants without seeds
There are millions of moss. Liverworts got their name because they are believed to resemble the lobes of the human liver. 

Ferns are seedless plants. Horsetails are seedless plants too. The green shoots look a bit like a horse tail and that's how they got there name.
