To solve this problem, we need to look at each food item in the picture and decide which part of the plant it comes from. Then we can sort them into the correct groups: Roots, Stems, Leaves, Flowers, Fruits, or Seeds.
Let’s go through each food one by one:
1.
Corn (on the cob) – The kernels are seeds. So corn goes under
Seeds.
2.
Asparagus – This is the young shoot of the plant, so it’s a
Stem.
3.
Peas (in pods) – Peas themselves are seeds inside the pod. So peas go under
Seeds.
4.
Radish – We eat the swollen root part. So radish goes under
Roots.
5.
Orange – This is a fruit that grows on trees. So orange goes under
Fruits.
6.
Cabbage – We eat the leaves packed together. So cabbage goes under
Leaves.
7.
Beetroot – We eat the round, purple root. So beetroot goes under
Roots.
8.
Lettuce – We eat the green leafy parts. So lettuce goes under
Leaves.
9.
Carrot – We eat the long orange root. So carrot goes under
Roots.
10.
Broccoli – We eat the flower buds before they open. So broccoli goes under
Flowers.
11.
Celery – We eat the stalks, which are stems. So celery goes under
Stems.
12.
Apple – This is a fruit that grows on trees. So apple goes under
Fruits.
Now let’s group them:
-
Roots: Radish, Beetroot, Carrot
-
Stems: Asparagus, Celery
-
Leaves: Cabbage, Lettuce
-
Flowers: Broccoli
-
Fruits: Orange, Apple
-
Seeds: Corn, Peas
Note: Some foods might be tricky — like corn and peas. Even though we often think of them as vegetables, botanically, the edible parts we consume are the seeds of the plant.
Final Answer:
Roots: Radish, Beetroot, Carrot
Stems: Asparagus, Celery
Leaves: Cabbage, Lettuce
Flowers: Broccoli
Fruits: Orange, Apple
Seeds: Corn, Peas
