Plants grow upward. The heat from the sunlight pulls the water and food from the ground through the roots, and toward tiny holes at the other end of the plant. These little holes are mostly on the plant's leaves. This is called transpiration. The word plant can also mean to put something in the ground. For example, farmers plant seeds in the ground. There are two types of plants:

Flowering plants: The plants which produce flowers as their reproductive structures are called flowering plants. There is a vast variety of shapes and sizes in flowering plants. Flowering plants include grasses, sedges, rushes, many trees, as well as familiar plants like roses and orchids. Flowers often have brightly colored petals but not always. The flowers conceal inside them the female ovules which will be fertilized by pollen grains. The pollen grains are the male parts of the flower. Fertilized ovules develop into the seeds which develop into new plants after planted those in land. There are three types of flowering plants. They are 1) Angiosperms 2) Dicotyledons (dicot) 3) Monocotyledons (monocot).

Non - Flowering Plants: The plants which do not produce flowers are called non flowering plants. Plants such as ferns and mosses are called non flowering plants. They produce spores instead of seeds. There are four types of non flowering plants. They are 1) Algae 2) Mosses 3) Ferns and 4) Gymnosperms.

Plants need sunlight to grow green. If plants are grown without sunlight, they turn into yellow and grow tall. This is because they are looking for sunlight, which boosts the plant's chlorophyll levels. Chlorophyll levels help it grow green. In general, plants produce flowers and flowers produce nice smells, unless they produce bad smells.
