What Roots Do

Roots grow down while the stem grows up. They do two jobs. First, roots hold the plant in the ground. A tall tree in a storm stays up because its roots spread wide under the soil. Second, roots drink. Tiny hairs on the roots take in water from the soil. The water travels up the stem to the leaves. A plant with damaged roots wilts, even if it is watered.

How Milk Gets to the Shop

A dairy cow is milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening. The milk goes straight into a cold tank. Cold milk keeps fresh much longer than warm milk. A tanker takes the milk to a dairy. There it is heated for a few seconds to kill germs, then cooled again fast. This is called pasteurising. Last, the milk is poured into bottles and driven to the shop.
