Meaning of Resources

Resources are useful things or materials we derive from living things or non-living things. These living things are plants and animals. Thus resources from plants and resources from animals will be discussed in this lesson.

Resources from Living Things

Resources from Plants

There are crops that we grow for their leaves, fruits, stems and roots. We can identify four major types of plant resources. These are food crops, crops for textiles, wood crops, and medicinal plants.

Food Crops

1. Leafy Vegetables

These are plants grown for their leaves. These are either cooked or eaten fresh as salads. They provide us with minerals (calcium and iron) and vitamins (particularly vitamins A and C) which our bodies need. Examples include lettuce, cabbage, bitter leaf, pumpkin leaf, Talinum, and other plants used for ‘leafy soups.

Resources from living things - food crops - leafy vegetables

Examples are peppers, tomatoes, okra, mangoes, bananas, pawpaw, dates, oranges, lemons, pineapples and guavas.
