Plants draw water from the earth through their roots. Water is carried through channels to the leaves. Leaves remove a gas called carbon dioxide from the air, which is the gas that comes out of our lungs when we breathe.
The plant also absorbs sunlight. With solar energy and chlorophyll, a substance that gives leaves the green color, it carries out a process called photosynthesis. In this process, the little plant transforms carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which is the plant's food, and oxygen, which is the air we breathe.
That's why we say that plants purify the air.
