The aim of the research is to study the qualitative and quantitative content of microelements in the leaves, roots and seeds of the sorrel plant, (Rumex crispus L.), which is considered a plant of Palestine. 
Using the atomic absorption spectroscopic method, which relies on the evaporation of plant ash, photographic recording of the radiation decomposed into a spectrum and measuring the intensity of the lines.
As a result of studying the elemental composition in the studied organs of the plant (Rumex crispus L), it can be noted that the quantity and quality of the elements depends on the growth conditions and the stage of the vegetation. After analyzing the research results: 
It was found that the high microelement content in the root is manganese 320, copper 170, zinc 688, titanium 335, iron 1730, and aluminum 6910, while the high microelement content in the leaves it is manganese 188, zinc 262, cerillium 510, titanium 380, iron 1140, and aluminum 3010, and the high microelement content in the fruits it is copper 183, zinc 153, and titanium 1 44 and iron 1220 and we note here there is a tendency toward its significant accumulation not only in underground organs, but also in leaves and fruits.
This study is considered the first of its kind and its results are important because it is conducted provides data on the elemental composition of the roots, leaves, and fruits of the sorrel plant (Rumex crispus L.), which grows in Palestine, so that these results can be used in the chemical, biological, and environmental evaluation of the plant.
Among the most important recommendations: Chemical researchers in general, and botanists in particular, must pay attention to studying the active components in Palestinian plants, work to separate them, identify them, and learn about their therapeutic effects, so that these plants can be used not only in traditional medicine, but in modern medicine as well.
