Forest features

Using water, carbon dioxide

from the air, and sunlight,

leaves produce food for

the tree. This process is

called photosynthesis.

A large area of trees clumped together is

called a forest. However, a forest is much

more than this. Step inside and you’ll

discover a wide variety of plants, with

lots of different animals living

among them.

Parts of a tree

The trunk of the tree supports the

crown of branches, which bear leaves,

flowers, fruits, or cones. The roots

anchor the tree into the ground and

soak up goodness from the soil.

Flowers produce

seeds from which

new trees can grow.

These new leaves are

shaped like those on

the fully-grown tree.

The bark protects the wood

that carries goodness between

the branches and the roots.

Birth of a tree

Most seeds are eaten,

or trampled on, or fall

in places where they

cannot grow. If

a seed survives,

its case cracks open.

Roots break through,

then a stem appears

above the ground,

and finally the first

leaves unfold.

A fallen tree is

home to animals,

such as woodlice

and millipedes,

feeding on the

rotting wood.

The roots spread

out sideways

and downwards,

soaking up water

and minerals.
