Flora

Flora is everything that grows in the earth, including all the plants, flowers, trees and bushes. Think of your backyard and all the green things you see. That is your backyard flora!

Just like how you have friends and family, flora also has friends and family. Plants with similar characteristics, like the way they look or the way they grow, are grouped together into families. For example, roses are part of the rose family, and sunflowers are part of the daisy family.

Flora is very important to the earth because it helps animals and humans survive. Plants make oxygen for us to breathe and produce food for us to eat. Plus, they make the world more beautiful!

So the next time you see a plant or a flower, remember that it's part of the vast world of flora, and it's doing important work to keep our planet healthy and happy.
