What is Plants in Year 4 Science (KSSR)?
Plants respond to environmental stimuli. Shoots grow towards sunlight (phototropism), while roots grow towards water and gravity (gravitropism).
Chapter Summary
Plants respond to environmental stimuli. Shoots grow towards sunlight (phototropism), while roots grow towards water and gravity (gravitropism). Plants also reproduce sexually (seeds) and asexually (budding, cuttings, tubers, stolons).
