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.
