Ever wondered how plants basically create food out of thin air?
It’s called photosynthesis, and it’s one of the most important processes on Earth.
Heres how it works.
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air through tiny holes in their leaves called stomata. At the same time, their roots absorb water from the soil.
