Solution:
####
Part 1: Labeling the Plant and Tree
We are given the following words to label the parts of the plant and tree:
-
trunk
-
root
-
leaf
-
flower
-
stem
Let's analyze the images and assign the correct labels:
1.
Plant (Sunflower):
- The
flower is the yellow part at the top.
- The
stem is the long, green structure supporting the flower.
- The
leaf is the green part attached to the stem below the flower.
2.
Tree:
- The
trunk is the thick, brown part at the bottom.
- The
root is the part underground that anchors the tree.
- The
leaf is the green part on the branches.
Now, let’s fill in the blanks:
- For the
plant (sunflower):
- Top:
flower
- Middle:
stem
- Bottom:
leaf
- For the
tree:
- Top:
leaf
- Middle:
trunk
- Bottom:
root
So, the labeled diagram should look like this:
- Plant (sunflower):
- Top:
flower
- Middle:
stem
- Bottom:
leaf
- Tree:
- Top:
leaf
- Middle:
trunk
- Bottom:
root

Part 2: Matching Parts of the Plant to Their Functions
We need to match each part of the plant to its function from the given options:
-
stem: Keeps the plant in the ground. Helps absorb water and minerals.
-
leaf: Supports the plant. Carries water and nutrients around the plant.
-
flower: Helps the plant make food.
-
root: Makes pollen and eggs for reproduction.
Let’s analyze each part and its function:
1.
Stem:
- Function: Keeps the plant in the ground. Helps absorb water and minerals.
- Correct match:
Keeps the plant in the ground. Helps absorb water and minerals.
2.
Leaf:
- Function: Supports the plant. Carries water and nutrients around the plant.
- Correct match:
Supports the plant. Carries water and nutrients around the plant.
3.
Flower:
- Function: Helps the plant make food.
- Correct match:
Helps the plant make food.
4.
Root:
- Function: Makes pollen and eggs for reproduction.
- Correct match:
Makes pollen and eggs for reproduction.

Final Answer:
#### Part 1: Labels
- Plant (sunflower):
- Top:
flower
- Middle:
stem
- Bottom:
leaf
- Tree:
- Top:
leaf
- Middle:
trunk
- Bottom:
root
#### Part 2: Matched Functions
-
stem: Keeps the plant in the ground. Helps absorb water and minerals.
-
leaf: Supports the plant. Carries water and nutrients around the plant.
-
flower: Helps the plant make food.
-
root: Makes pollen and eggs for reproduction.
Final Answer Box:
\[
\boxed{
\text{Part 1: Plant (sunflower): flower, stem, leaf; Tree: leaf, trunk, root}
}
\]
\[
\boxed{
\text{Part 2: stem → Keeps the plant in the ground. Helps absorb water and minerals.}
}
\]
\[
\boxed{
\text{leaf → Supports the plant. Carries water and nutrients around the plant.}
}
\]
\[
\boxed{
\text{flower → Helps the plant make food.}
}
\]
\[
\boxed{
\text{root → Makes pollen and eggs for reproduction.}
}
\]
