Plants need sunlight, air, and water to make their own food. They do this in a special way called photosynthesis. It’s like magic! The leaves of plants have a special green color called chlorophyll, which helps them capture sunlight. The plants use this sunlight, along with air and water, to make yummy food for themselves. They also release oxygen, which we need to breathe. So, plants are really important because they give us air and food!
