Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a plant diagram with 5 blank boxes pointing to different parts of the plant. Below, we have a list of “Parts” (Flower, Fruit, Stem, Leaf, Root) and “Functions” (Helps in reproduction, Supports the plant, Performs photosynthesis, Protects the seeds, Absorbs water & minerals).
Our job is to match each part to its correct function — and label the diagram accordingly.
First, let’s recall what each part does:
1.
Root → Grows underground. Its job is to soak up water and nutrients from the soil. So it matches with:
Absorbs water & minerals
2.
Stem → The main stalk that holds up the plant and carries water/nutrients from roots to leaves. So it matches with:
Supports the plant
3.
Leaf → Green flat parts where sunlight is used to make food. That’s called photosynthesis. So it matches with:
Performs photosynthesis
4.
Flower → Pretty part that makes seeds later. It’s involved in making new plants. So it matches with:
Helps in reproduction
5.
Fruit → Comes after the flower. It holds and protects the seeds until they’re ready to grow. So it matches with:
Protects the seeds
Now, look at the diagram:
- Top left box → points to the top part with small structures → likely
Flower
- Middle left box → points to the round object on the stem → that’s the
Fruit
- Bottom left box → points to the underground part → that’s the
Root
- Top right box → points to a flat green part → that’s a
Leaf
- Middle right box → points to the central stalk → that’s the
Stem
So now we assign functions:
- Flower → Helps in reproduction
- Fruit → Protects the seeds
- Root → Absorbs water & minerals
- Leaf → Performs photosynthesis
- Stem → Supports the plant
All matches are clear and standard for basic plant biology.
Final Answer:
Flower – Helps in reproduction
Fruit – Protects the seeds
Root – Absorbs water & minerals
Leaf – Performs photosynthesis
Stem – Supports the plant
