Plant Parts

Roots

Roots keep the plant in the soil and hold it up. They also take in water (and nutrients) from the soil.
Your roots could be long or short, wriggly or straight. You could have a few roots, or absolutely loads.
Whatever they look like, your roots could represent different things. For example, how firmly you believe in something or how you do your best to stick at it, or how you find the best in every situation.

Stalk

The stalk holds up the plant and carries water and nutrients to the leaves.
It’s up to you how thin, tall, and flexible your stem is.
Whatever it looks like, your stem could represent different things. For example, you could label it with what keeps you strong. It could also show whether you prefer to stand on your own like a tree, in small teams like flowers, or as part of a big group like grass.

Leaves

The leaves take in sunshine and use it (as well as carbon dioxide and water) to make food, which helps the plant grow. Some leaves also take up rainwater.
You could draw loads of small leaves, or fewer big ones. Are they glossy and smooth, or rough? What colour are they?
Whatever they look like, your leaves could represent different things. For example, how well do you take advice and lessons from others, or how you use praise and criticism to grow.

Fruits, seeds, flowers, and thorns

Seeds travel differently – they might glide or float through the air, burst, cling on to animals (so they travel with them and fall off somewhere else), or be part of fruit that animals eat and transport somewhere else when they go to the toilet.
As well as providing seeds, flowers can make a plant welcoming, or warn off insects and animals.
You could have loads of fruit and flowers, or few and far between. They could be all sorts of bright colours, or gentler pastels.
Whatever they look like, your fruit, seeds, flowers, and thorns could represent different things. For example, how welcoming you are, whether you need to get to know someone really well before you get close, or how you interact with others.
Some flowers and fruits could represent specific skills and talents, like giving gifts or sharing, and how your seeds travel could represent how you like to communicate.
