Text 5.
Whether a tree is coniferous or deciduous, whether it bears fruit or
not, whether it grows in the tropics or in the temperate zone, every tree has
three parts: the roots, the trunk, and the crown. The roots, the part of the
tree underground, hold the tree firmly against windstorms and provide the tree
with food gathered from the soil. The trunk, which is the most important woody
part of the tree, is the body of the tree it carries the food from the roots to
the branches. The crown of the tree consists of the branches, the leaves, and
the fruit of the tree. The leaves use the food sent from the trunk for many
purposes, one of which is a process that is particularly useful to humans. In
this process, called photosynthesis, the leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere and give oxygen to the atmosphere. The single process is essential
