Based on the analysis of the diagram and the provided word box, here is the correct labeling for each part of the simple leaf:
*
Tip: The pointed end at the very top of the leaf.
*
Margin: The outer edge or boundary of the leaf blade.
*
Leaf-blade: The broad, flat, main surface area of the leaf.
*
Midrib: The thick, central vein that runs down the middle of the leaf blade.
*
Vein: The smaller vascular structures that branch out from the midrib to distribute water and nutrients throughout the leaf.
*
Leaf base: The part of the leaf where the leaf blade attaches to the petiole (leaf stalk).
*
Petiole: The stalk that connects the leaf blade to the stem of the plant.
*
Axil: The angle between the upper side of the petiole and the stem. This is where new growth, like a bud, often emerges.
*
Stem: The main structural axis of the plant, which supports the leaves and branches.
By matching each anatomical part shown in the diagram with its corresponding term from the word box, the worksheet can be correctly completed.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of parts of a leaf worksheet.
