Interactive worksheet to drag and drop plant parts and their functions.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We need to match each part of the plant (ROOTS, FRUIT, LEAVES, STEM, FLOWERS) with its correct function. Then we’ll place them in the right boxes on the diagram.

First, let’s look at the functions given:

1. “Contains and protects the seeds.” → That’s what a fruit does. Think of a tomato — it holds the seeds inside.
2. “Catch energy from sunlight and produce food for the plant.” → That’s what leaves do through photosynthesis.
3. “Soak up water and minerals from the ground.” → That’s the job of the roots.
4. “Make seeds for the plant.” → That’s what flowers do after they are pollinated.
5. “Supports the plant and carries water and minerals through the plant.” → That’s the stem — it’s like the plant’s highway and backbone.

Now, let’s match these to the arrows in the diagram:

- The arrow pointing to the yellow flowers at the top → should be labeled “FLOWERS” and matched with “Make seeds for the plant.”
- The arrow pointing to the red tomatoes → that’s the “FRUIT”, matched with “Contains and protects the seeds.”
- The arrow pointing to the green leaves → “LEAVES”, matched with “Catch energy from sunlight and produce food for the plant.”
- The arrow pointing to the main stalk → “STEM”, matched with “Supports the plant and carries water and minerals through the plant.”
- The arrow pointing to the underground roots → “ROOTS”, matched with “Soak up water and minerals from the ground.”

Let’s double-check:

✔ Roots → soak up water/minerals
✔ Fruit → contains/protects seeds
✔ Leaves → catch sunlight/make food
✔ Stem → support + carry water/minerals
✔ Flowers → make seeds

All matches make sense biologically and fit the diagram.

Final Answer:
- Top left box (pointing to flowers): FLOWERS — Make seeds for the plant.
- Middle left box (pointing to fruit): FRUIT — Contains and protects the seeds.
- Right middle box (pointing to leaves): LEAVES — Catch energy from sunlight and produce food for the plant.
- Right lower box (pointing to stem): STEM — Supports the plant and carries water and minerals through the plant.
- Bottom right box (pointing to roots): ROOTS — Soak up water and minerals from the ground.
