PARTS OF A TREE. By Grace

There are many different parts to a tree these include crown,trunk,roots and leaves.

CROWN
The crown lives on top of the tree,it is made of leaves and branches.The crown covers the roots so they don't overheat and die.It comes in different shapes and sizes,it also helps the tree with photosynthesis,collects energy from the sun and removes extra water.

TRUNK
The trunk has different kinds of cells going right through it,these are called Cambium,Heartwood,Sapwood and Pith,another name for Sapwood is Xylem.
The trunk supports the tree ,brings water and food from the dirt and sugar from the leaves.

ROOTS
The roots are very important because they collect food and water for the tree.The roots stop the tree from falling over-they can hold a 100 foot tree!Roots can even be as big as the tree.

LEAVES
The leaves fall off deciduous trees and stay on evergreen trees.They come in different colours,shapes and sizes.Fat leaves and thin leaves are found on different types of trees.

In conclusion all the parts of the tree are very important and without any one of them the tree wouldn't grow.
