Types of plants
Climber plants have weak and soft
stem. They need support to stand
and grow straight.
Money plant Pea plant Bean plant
Pumpkin Watermelon Muskmelon
Creeper plants have soft green stem.
They grow along the ground.
Herbs are very small plants with soft
green color stem. Their leaves,
flowers, seeds are used for flavoring,
food, cooking, medicines or perfumes.
Coriander Spinach Mint

Shrubs have many branches and
they grow near to the ground. Their
stem is woody and thin and doesn’t
have main trunk.
Wild plants grow naturally for
many years. They do not need any
person to take care of them. Wild
plants can be grass, trees and small
plants.
Water plants grow in water and
their stem stays underwater. Some
water plants have big floating leaves.
Plants like Hydrilla grow completely
underwater.

Different Climates and Plants
• Desert
• Plains
• Grasslands
• Mountains
• Rainforests
• Temperate Deciduous Forests
• Taiga
• Tundra
We Will Learn

Grasslands are also
the plains.
They are found in
places with heavy
rainfall or sunlight.
Grass plants have soft
stems and narrow
leaves which reduces
the water loss.
Grasslands are useful
for agriculture.
Grass - Narrow leaves Grass - Soft stems

Mountains are large
landforms stretched
very high from land.
Mountains are steeper
than hills.
In the mountains with
heavy snow fall trees
like Pine, Willow grow
well.
Their leaves have
needle shape to shed
down the snow easily. Willow Tree Pine Tree
Pine Tree Leaves

Tropical rainforests
grow in hot and heavy
rain places.
Temperate rainforests
grow in the places
with mild winter and
cool summers.
Rainforests are
generally very thick
and sunlight can't
reach the lands.
Tropical Rainforest Temperate Rainforest

Temperate deciduous
forests or temperate
broad-leaf forests are
found in areas with
warm, moist summers
and mild winters.
Trees have broad
leaves to capture
sunlight.
In autumn the trees
sheds their leaves to
reduce the water loss.
Forest during Spring Forest during Autumn

Taiga is also known as
snow Forest.
Trees grow in extreme
winter and heavy
snow fall. They are
also known as
conifers. Trees grow in
cone shape and it
helps them to shed the
snow easily.
Leaves remains green
while snowfall is
occurring.
Larch
Taiga or Snow forest
Spruce

Tundra is a extreme
cold place.
It has very short
summers and long
harsh winters.
Tundra plants are very
small and dark in color.
Three type of Tundra
are:
• Arctic Tundra is
located at northern
hemisphere.
•Alpine Tundra occurs
in mountains
worldwide at high
altitude.
•Antarctic Tundra is
located at Southern
hemisphere
Tundra Plants - Small Tundra Moss

Orchards and Groves
Fruits And Vegetables
Transported To India
We Will Learn

Orchards & Groves
Orchards are the group of trees or planned large gardens. They always grow in warm places.
Orchards are generally the fruit gardens, like Apple orchards.
Groves are also known as group of trees or small orchards. For example: Mango grove.

Fruits And Vegetables Transported To India
Red and Green
Grapes
StrawberryKiwi Apple
Some fruits and vegetables are transported to India from other countries
by air and ship. Also, due to improved farming technology new types of
fruits and vegetables can now be grown in some parts of India.
Fruits like kiwi, Apple, Strawberries, red and green seedless grapes are
brought to India from different countries.

Red grapes PlumRaspberry Pear
Fruits are imported to India from New Zealand, Australia, Turkey,
Malaysia, Thailand etc.

Magic mushroom BroccoliRed and yellow
