Air
Plants need to breathe, just like we do! But they breathe in the gas that we breathe out.
Why it's needed:
Plants 'breathe in' a gas from the air called carbon dioxide. This is one of the main ingredients they use to make their food.
💡 Fun Facts
- Plants also 'breathe out' the oxygen that we need to live! This is why trees and plants are so important.
- Plants get their air through tiny, tiny little holes in their leaves called 'stomata'.
- Earthworms are a plant's best friend. They wiggle through the soil, making tunnels that let air and water get to the roots.
