Without water, plants droop or wilt.
If they are not watered they will die.
All flowering plants have roots, stems, leaves and flower.
Seeds develop when petals fall. Seeds can grow to form new plants.
The flower grows first as a bud and then opens up into a flower.
Parts of the flower become a fruit.
