Let me carefully examine the plant diagram and match each letter to the correct plant part and its function.

First, I’ll identify each labeled part by looking at the diagram:

- A is already given as “Side root” — but that seems off. Looking closely, A points to the main root system (the thin branching structures underground). In standard plant diagrams, this is usually the *root* (not “side root”). However, since the table says “Side root” for A and gives the function “To hold the plant in the soil”, it’s likely they mean *root* (perhaps a mislabel; side roots are smaller branches off the main root). But we’ll go by what’s shown: A points to the root structure.

- B points to the main vertical stem (the central support structure above ground).

- C points to a leaf (flat, broad, attached to stem).

- D points to the flower (the reproductive part at the top).

- E also points to a leaf — same as C, just on the other side.

- F points to the main root (the thick central root going down from the base of the stem, below the soil line). This is likely the *taproot* or *main root*.

- G points to a small structure near the base of the root — looks like a *root hair* or possibly a *tuber/nodule*, but given the context (“Nutrition”), and its location near the root tip, it’s most likely a root hair, which absorbs water and minerals.

Wait — let’s double-check with standard plant anatomy:

In a typical dicot plant diagram like this:
- A: fine branching roots → roots (but labeled “Side root” — maybe they consider these lateral roots)
- B: upright central structure → stem
- C & E: flat green structures → leaves
- D: top blossoms → flower
- F: main thick root descending → taproot (or primary root)
- G: tiny hair-like projection on root → root hair

But the table has 7 rows (A–G), and only one example filled: A = Side root, function = hold plant in soil.

However, *holding the plant in the soil* is the function of the root system, not just side roots. Also, root hairs don’t hold the plant — they absorb water/minerals.

Let me zoom in on the diagram to confirm labels.
