Plants are made up of two main systems:
1. The
shoot system — this includes everything above the ground: stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
2. The
root system — this is underground and includes all the roots that hold the plant in place and soak up water and nutrients.
Looking at the diagram:
- On the left, we see a tomato plant with labeled parts: leaf, fruit, flower, stem → these are all part of the
shoot system.
- On the right, we see only roots → that’s clearly the
root system.
So, the blank on the left (pointing to the shoot parts) should be “Shoot system”.
The blank on the right (pointing to the roots) should be “Root system”.
Final Answer:
Left box: Shoot system
Right box: Root system
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of structure of a root worksheet answers.
