Parts of a Plant (Year 3) | CGP Plus - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

Part 1: Label the plant and the tree

We have these words to use:
→ trunk, root, leaf, flower, stem

Look at the sunflower on the left:

- The big yellow part with seeds in the middle? That’s the flower.
- The green flat parts coming off the stem? Those are leaves.
- The long green part holding up the flower and leaves? That’s the stem.

Now look at the tree on the right:

- The thick brown bottom part that goes into the ground? That’s the trunk.
- The thin lines going down from the trunk into the soil? Those are roots.

So let’s match them:

Sunflower (left side):
- Top box → points to flower → label: flower
- Middle box → points to leaf → label: leaf
- Bottom box → points to stem → label: stem

Tree (right side):
- Top box → points to trunk → label: trunk
- Bottom box → points to roots → label: root

✔ All labels used: trunk, root, leaf, flower, stem — perfect!

Part 2: Match plant part to its function

We have four plant parts: stem, leaf, flower, root
And four functions:

A. Keeps the plant in the ground. Helps absorb water and minerals.
B. Supports the plant. Carries water and nutrients around the plant.
C. Helps the plant make food.
D. Makes pollen and eggs for reproduction.

Let’s think about each one:

🌱 Root – It’s underground. Holds the plant steady. Soaks up water and nutrients from soil. → Matches A

🌿 Stem – It’s like the plant’s backbone. Holds everything up. Also moves water and food between roots and leaves. → Matches B

🍃 Leaf – Leaves catch sunlight and make food using photosynthesis. → Matches C

🌼 Flower – Flowers make seeds. They have pollen (male) and eggs (female) so new plants can grow. → Matches D

So matching:

- stem → B
- leaf → C
- flower → D
- root → A

Final Answer:

Part 1 Labels:

Sunflower (top to bottom):
→ flower
→ leaf
→ stem

Tree (top to bottom):
→ trunk
→ root

Part 2 Matching:

- stem → Supports the plant. Carries water and nutrients around the plant.
- leaf → Helps the plant make food.
- flower → Makes pollen and eggs for reproduction.
- root → Keeps the plant in the ground. Helps absorb water and minerals.
