Edible Parts Of Plants Worksheet

The page introduces the idea that familiar foods can come from many different plant structures. Learners inspect each supplied example and identify the edible part represented, using botanical categories rather than food-group labels. The range includes multiple structural types, so the exercise encourages comparison across roots, shoots, reproductive parts, and storage structures. Exact item-to-category matches are withheld from shopper copy to preserve the classification task.
