A plant grows in a slice of soil you can see into, and its roots, stem and leaves are named and labelled one at a time. Each part is shown doing its job: the roots hold the plant steady in the wind and soak up water, the stem holds up the leaves and carries water up to them, and the leaves use sunlight to make food.
