A sunflower in the soil gets labelled one part at a time from the bottom up. The roots soak up water, the stem carries it up to the leaves, the leaves use sunlight to make food, and the flower makes seeds. The seeds fall onto the soil and one grows into a new plant, and the video ends on the recap that roots, stem, leaves, flower and seeds each have a job.
