🔵Day 5 Is it living?

Is it living? (Day 5)

Introduction

Plants are living things too!  Plants can grow, breathe, eat, reproduce, and move.  All of this is hard to see.  Plants can grow taller, like grass.  They breathe in a way by using the tiny holes in their leaves and even through their roots.  Plants eat by making their own food through something called photosynthesis and they take in minerals and water through their roots.  They reproduce through seeds or spores and move towards the sun.
