All 7 parts 7

  1. Crown A tree's spreading top, its branches and leaves together.
  2. Leaves Capture light energy to make the tree's food. Carried on the shoots.
  3. Branches Grow from the top of the trunk. They split into smaller branches and shoots.
  4. Twigs The smallest branches at the ends, called shoots in botany. They carry the leaves.
  5. Trunk The tree's long main stem. Its wood holds the tree up and carries materials between parts of the tree.
  6. Bark The layer round the trunk that protects it.
  7. Roots Branch and spread out under the ground. They anchor the tree and take in water and nutrients from the soil.

How this list was compiled: Read 2026-09-26. Wikipedia, Tree, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree : a perennial plant with a long stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves; the crown as a tree's spreading top, with its branches and leaves; the trunk containing woody tissue for strength, vascular tissue to carry materials; bark surrounding the trunk as a protective barrier; roots branching and spreading below ground, anchoring the tree and taking in moisture and nutrients; branches dividing into smaller branches and shoots, the shoots bearing leaves that capture light energy.

How it works

A parts of a tree diagram for younger classes: one leafy tree with seven parts to name, from the crown at the top to the roots under the ground.

Read the full guide

From the top down

The crown is the whole leafy top. The branches grow out of the trunk and split into twigs, and the twigs hold the leaves. The trunk holds the tree up, and bark covers it. Under the ground, the roots spread out.

What each part does

Leaves use sunlight to make the tree's food. The trunk carries materials up and down, and bark protects it. Roots hold the tree in place and take in water from the soil.

  • Study shows every label at once, so a younger child can look first and then try the quiz.

Questions and answers

What are the main parts of a tree?

The roots, the trunk with its bark, the branches and twigs, and the leaves. The branches and leaves together make the crown.

What does bark do for a tree?

Bark is the outer layer of the trunk and branches. It protects the tree like a shield against damage.

What do tree roots do?

They spread out under the ground, hold the tree in place, and take in water and nutrients from the soil.
