Plant Parts Life Cycle

Kahu and Georgia are helping at a supermarket’s produce section. Use the plant clues to solve each task. Write or draw where asked.

Meet the plant parts

A bean plant has roots, a stem, leaves, flowers and seeds. Each part has a job.

1.At the supermarket, Nathan sees leafy greens. Which plant part usually takes in sunlight and makes food for the plant?

Roots
Stem
Leaves
Seeds

2.Kahu looks at a carrot. Which plant part is the carrot, and what is one job of that part?

3.Georgia says, “The stem is just a stick.” Give two important jobs a stem does for a plant.

4.A bright flower attracts a bee. What useful job might the bee do when it visits?

Follow the life cycle

A bean plant’s life cycle repeats when it makes new seeds.

5.Put these stages in the correct order by writing 1–5 beside each: ___ flowering plant; ___ seed; ___ seedling; ___ seed pod with new seeds; ___ sprouting seed.

6.Nathan’s bean seed has water and air but is kept in a cool cupboard with no light. It begins to sprout. Is this possible? Explain what a seed needs to germinate and what a growing seedling needs afterwards.

7.True or false? A seed is a living part of a plant that can grow into a new plant when conditions are suitable.

TrueFalse

8.A supermarket worker finds bean seeds in a dry pod. How do these seeds help the bean plant’s life cycle continue?

9.Imagine a young plant has damaged roots. Predict one problem it may have and explain why.

Draw a bean plant at one life-cycle stage. Label at least three parts from this list: roots, stem, leaves, flower, seeds. Add an arrow to show what might happen next in its life cycle.
