List the names of plants that you have seen in your school, park or near your home. Identify what types of plants they are — tree, shrub, herb, grass, climber or creeper.
Plants commonly found include the following types:
Trees (Mango, Neem, Peepal, Banyan, Jamun, Coconut) — these are plants with a big trunk with branches.
Shrubs (Hibiscus, Rose, Tulsi, Curry leaf) — these are medium-sized plants with multiple woody stems.
Herbs (Mint, Tomato, Coriander, Mustard) — these are small plants with soft stems.
Grasses (Lawn grass, Wheat, Paddy, Sugarcane, Bamboo) — these have thin flat leaves with hollow stems.
Climbers (Money plant, Jasmine, Bottle gourd) — these are plants that climb on support.
Creepers (Watermelon, Pumpkin) — these are plants that spread on the ground.
