We studied people share the planet with animals, but we share our world with plants too. They are living things because they are born, grow, reproduce and die. A plant has different parts and we can find three types of plants: trees, bushes and grasses. We use plants in different ways; we eat them, we get oxygen to live, we get fabrics...
Plants are very good friends of us!
