Let’s go step by step to match each plant part with its correct function.

We’ll look at the diagram and read each question, then pick the right answer from the word bank (even though the word bank isn’t shown, we can infer standard plant parts: roots, stem, leaves, flower, fruit).

Here are the questions in order:

① Which part of the plant holds it in the ground?
→ That’s the roots. They anchor the plant and absorb water.

② Which part carries food to the ground?
→ Actually, this is tricky — usually, the stem carries food *from* the leaves *to* other parts, including down to the roots. But “carries food to the ground” likely means transporting sugars downward → still stem.

Wait — let’s double-check wording. Sometimes “carries food to the ground” might be misphrased. In plants, food (sugars) made in leaves travels through phloem in the stem to roots and other parts. So yes, stem.

But hold on — maybe they mean “carries water and nutrients UP from the ground”? No, that’s not what it says. It says “carries food TO the ground.” So downward transport → stem.

③ Which part makes seeds?
→ The flower makes seeds after pollination.

④ Which part grows into a new plant?
→ That’s the seed itself. But wait — looking at the diagram, there’s a tomato (fruit) with seeds inside. The seed grows into a new plant. But if “seed” isn’t an option, sometimes they say “fruit contains seeds,” but the actual thing that grows is the seed.

Looking at the diagram labels — probably “seed” is one of the choices. Let’s assume standard options: roots, stem, leaves, flower, fruit, seed.

Actually, re-reading: “Which part grows into a new plant?” → Definitely the seed.

⑤ Which part takes in water and nutrients from the soil?
→ Again, roots.

Wait — now I see two questions about roots? Let’s list them again carefully.

From the image layout (as described):

Top row:
① Holds plant in ground → roots
② Carries food to the ground → stem (transports sugars down)

Left side:
③ Makes seeds → flower
④ Grows into new plant → seed
⑤ Takes in water/nutrients → roots ← duplicate? Hmm.

Right side:
⑥ Transports water and nutrients → stem (xylem moves water up)
⑦ Conducts food to all parts → stem (phloem moves food everywhere)
⑧ Attracts insects for pollination → flower
⑨ Protects seeds → fruit (like the tomato protects seeds inside)
⑩ Supports leaves and flowers → stem

Bottom:
⑪ Makes food using sunlight → leaves (photosynthesis)
⑫ Supports the flower and fruit → stem

Oh no — many answers point to “stem”. That’s okay — stems do multiple jobs.

Let me assign based on standard biology:

Standard plant part functions:

- Roots: anchor plant, absorb water & minerals
- Stem: support, transport water/minerals up, transport food down/all around
- Leaves: make food via photosynthesis
- Flower: reproduction, attracts pollinators, makes seeds
- Fruit: protects seeds, helps disperse them
- Seed: grows into new plant

Now map to questions:

① Holds plant in ground → roots

② Carries food to the ground → This must mean transports sugars downward to roots → stem

③ Makes seeds → flower

④ Grows into new plant → seed

⑤ Takes in water and nutrients → roots ← same as ①? Maybe typo or different emphasis. Still roots.

⑥ Transports water and nutrients → stem (upward via xylem)

⑦ Conducts food to all parts → stem (via phloem)

⑧ Attracts insects for pollination → flower

⑨ Protects seeds → fruit

⑩ Supports leaves and flowers → stem

⑪ Makes food using sunlight → leaves

⑫ Supports the flower and fruit → stem

So even though “stem” appears many times, that’s accurate — it has multiple roles.

Now, since the student needs to fill in blanks with words from a word bank (not shown), we assume the available terms are: roots, stem, leaves, flower, fruit, seed.

All these are used.

Final matching:

① roots
② stem
③ flower
④ seed
⑤ roots
⑥ stem
⑦ stem
⑧ flower
⑨ fruit
⑩ stem
⑪ leaves
⑫ stem

Yes, that fits.

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:
① roots
② stem
③ flower
④ seed
⑤ roots
⑥ stem
⑦ stem
⑧ flower
⑨ fruit
⑩ stem
⑪ leaves
⑫ stem
