Slats and flaps increase drag and also increaselift. The increase in drag slows the aircraft down, and the increase in lift lowers the stall speed, which slows the landing speed of the aircraft.

A device to aid lift, such as Slats and Flaps on the wings.
Usually control surfaces, like ailerons, flaps, slats, air breaks, on the wingtips you sometimes see winglets. On many airliners the engines are also attached to the wings. On military airplanes you can find external fuel tanks and weaponry.
An airplanes having the flaps in wings as it helps the plane to give or to produce a additional lift.
Lift can be increased by curving the wing downward. Most aircraft have 'flaps' at the rear inner edge of the wing to achieve this. Some aircraft even have 'slats' at the front of the wing to increase lift even more. - If you google 'aircraft slats', you will see a great picture of slats and flaps on an Airbus A310
Aircraft wings can move up and down as part of the normal operation of the aircraft. This movement helps to control the flight of the aircraft by adjusting the lift and drag forces acting on the wings. The wings can also move as part of the aircraft's flaps and slats system to change the wing's shape for takeoff and landing.
All airplanes have at least two wings.
it flaps its wings
flaps its wings about 12 times a second.
airplanes need wings so they can glide and land correctly
Yes, it IS possible for most airplanes to take off without using flaps, but it is usually not done because airplane would need a longer runway or more speed before the wings could create enough lift to get off the ground.
