Plants Are Everywhere

Plants Are Everywhere Author: Ritu Desai Illustrator: Ekta Bharti

Plants grow everywhere — on high mountains,

on arid lands,

2/15

and even under the sea.

3/15

Plants grow in scorching heat

and shivering cold.

4/15

Plants climb.

Cucumber and grape vines lean on and climb up poles and branches.

5/15

Plants creep.

Pumpkin and watermelon creepers glide along the ground.

6/15

Plants grow on water.

Water lilies and lotuses float on the surface of lakes and ponds.

7/15

Plants grow under water.

Swaying seagrass are rooted to the bottom of the sea.

8/15

Plants bloom in the harshest of winters.

9/15

Cabbages and collards grow hidden under a blanket of snow.

10/15

Plants grow in the hottest of summers.

Cacti bloom in sandy deserts, with their shallow roots growing beneath the surface.

11/15

Plants grow on rocks and stone.

12/15

Slippery moss spreads like a velvety green blanket on riverside rocks and damp caves.

13/15

Plants grow under the soil.

Potatoes and carrots grow under the ground, with only their leaves peeking above the earth.

14/15

Plants emerge from the soil and grow taller and taller.

They stretch and reach out for the sun, like all of us.
