Let's solve the task step by step.

Task:


Label the parts of a seed and draw lines to match each part with its correct description.

We are given:
- A diagram of a seed (with labeled parts: Seed Coat, Radicle, Cotyledon, Epicotyl)
- Four descriptions in boxes:
1. The baby root
2. This will grow into the stem and leaves of the plant.
3. This will be the first leaf the plant has. It also serves as a food source for the growing plant.
4. Protects the seed

---

Step 1: Understand the parts of a seed



Here’s what each part does:

1. Seed Coat → Outer covering that protects the seed from damage, drying out, and pathogens.
2. Radicle → The embryonic root; it grows downward into the soil and becomes the root system.
3. Cotyledon → Seed leaf(s); in many plants, it stores food or absorbs nutrients from the seed coat. It is often the first leaf to appear and provides nourishment to the developing plant.
4. Epicotyl → The part above the cotyledons that will develop into the stem and leaves of the plant.

Step 2: Match the descriptions to the parts



Now let’s match each description to the correct part:

- "The baby root" → This refers to the Radicle
- "This will grow into the stem and leaves of the plant." → This describes the Epicotyl
- "This will be the first leaf the plant has. It also serves as a food source for the growing plant." → This is the Cotyledon
- "Protects the seed" → This is the Seed Coat

---

Final Answer (Matching):



- Seed Coat → Protects the seed
- Radicle → The baby root
- Cotyledon → This will be the first leaf the plant has. It also serves as a food source for the growing plant.
- Epicotyl → This will grow into the stem and leaves of the plant.

Instructions for Drawing Lines:



On the worksheet, draw lines from each label (Seed Coat, Radicle, Cotyledon, Epicotyl) to the corresponding description box:

- Draw a line from Seed Coat to "Protects the seed"
- Draw a line from Radicle to "The baby root"
- Draw a line from Cotyledon to "This will be the first leaf..."
- Draw a line from Epicotyl to "This will grow into the stem and leaves..."

Completed! You’ve now correctly labeled and matched all parts of the seed.
