Let’s match each plant part to its correct function by thinking about what each part does.
1.
Roots – These are underground. They soak up water and nutrients from the soil. So, roots → “take in water and nutrients from the soil.”
2.
Stem – This is like a highway inside the plant. It carries water and food between roots and leaves. So, stem → “transports water to other parts of the plant.”
3.
Leaves – Leaves are green and catch sunlight. They use that light to make food for the plant using photosynthesis. So, leaves → “make food for the plant by the process called photosynthesis.”
4.
Flowers – Flowers are often bright and pretty. Their job is to attract bees and butterflies so they can help make seeds. So, flowers → “are colorful and attracts insects.”
5.
Fruits – Fruits grow after flowers. They protect the seeds and sometimes taste sweet to get animals to eat them and spread the seeds. So, fruits → “are fleshy and hold seeds.”
Now let’s pair them correctly:
- roots → take in water and nutrients from the soil
- stem → transports water to other parts of the plant
- leaves → make food for the plant by the process called photosynthesis
- flowers → are colorful and attracts insects
- fruits → are fleshy and hold seeds
Final Answer:
roots — take in water and nutrients from the soil
stem — transports water to other parts of the plant
leaves — make food for the plant by the process called photosynthesis
flowers — are colorful and attracts insects
fruits — are fleshy and hold seeds
