Seeds may look dead when people plant them, but they aren't. There just getting ready to germination. germination means "begins to grow." Plants suck up water, the water is taken in, then the seed starts to swell bigger and bigger until the seed coat cracks, air then can get to the seed. Flowers also burn food, burning food produces energy for the flower. The seed also has a seed coat.
Plants grow by water. Water Carry's nutrients which is used to make there food. Flowers make there own food using nutrients and carbon dioxide. Roots suck water up through the stem into the leaves, shoots or flowers. If a flower gets to much water it sucks it up and turns it into vapour. Two things that plants needs to grow is photosynthesis and respiration. They also make food for the plant.
People can plant seeds indoors and outdoors. Some vege don't like to be transplanted. Transplanted means "to move it to one place to another."
People like to plant plants, vege or fruit because it saves money, it's fun to do and it's fun to see what they'll form into.
Plants, vege and fruit are important to the world because they provide oxygen and food for animals and people.
