Some plants, like sunflowers, are known for their tall stems and large, bright yellow flowers. They turn their heads to follow the sun throughout the day, a behavior called heliotropism. Sunflowers are also important for producing seeds that can be eaten or used to make oil. Another common plant is the basil herb, which is often used in cooking. It has fragrant green leaves and is a key ingredient in many dishes, especially in Italian cuisine. Basil thrives in warm weather and can be grown in gardens or pots, making it a popular choice for home gardeners.
