Then it finds its way into every part of the plant. It changes into the rough bark and hard wood of the apple tree. It changes into pink apple blossoms and buds. It changes into red apples and yellow apples. The same sap makes sweet apples and sour apples. Every part of a plant is made from sap. Is not that very strange?
We have learned that the roots take the food of plants from the earth. They do more than this. The roots are the feet of the plant.
You could not stand without your feet. You would fall on the ground or the floor. And so the tree or the plant could not stand without its roots.
Other plants grow just as the apple tree grows. The roots of a plant get food from the earth and keep the plant in its place in the ground. The stem makes the plant strong and holds it up in the air. And the leaves draw in just what the plants need from the air around them.
Fruit of the Apple Tree.
