Kavi Meets a Busy Plant
Kavi crouches by a little plant 🌱. "This plant looks still, but every part is busy!" The root grips the soil and drinks water 💧, the stem carries that water up ⬆️, the leaf catches sunlight to make food ☀️, and the flower makes seeds for new plants 🌸. "No part works alone — let's find out who does what!"
