植物需要什么大多数植物需要六种物质才能生存。 空气、土壤、食物水植物利用空气、水和光来制造养分。 制作食物是一项非常重要的工作。 动物不能自己做食物。 它们吃植物或其他吃植物的动物。

Most plants get the water they need through their roots. The roots soak up water found in soil. Some plants have one big root. Other plants have many smaller roots that spread out. Usually, the bigger a plant is, the larger its roots are.

大多数植物通过根部获得所需的水分。 根系吸收土壤中的水分。 有些植物有一个大根。 其他植物有许多向外伸展的小根。 通常，植物越大，根就越大。

Stems carry water from the roots to the leaves and other plant parts. Plants have either soft or hard stems. Some plants have one large stem. Other plants just have many smaller stems.

茎将水从根输送到叶子和其他植物部位。 植物有软茎或硬茎。 有些植物有一根大茎。 其他植物只是有许多更小的茎。
