Synopsis: This page shows an image of a small plant growing in the ground. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left, when the image is the correct way up. The image is surrounded by a dashed line image border. The green leafy part of the plant is in the top half of the page and the root is in the bottom half of the page. The plans stem goes vertically up the middle of the page. It has three oval leaves on the left, one at the top forming the shoot, and four leaves on the right. Curved arrows indicate water loss as vapour from the leaves. A line going horizontally across the middle of the page represents the soil surface. Down from this the soil is shown in cross section so the roots can be found. As the root goes down the page it divides into smaller multiples of roots. Arrows show the root absorbing water from the soil.
