Plant Parts We Eat Worksheet

The introduction explains that foods described as fruits and vegetables come from different parts of plants. Learners investigate each listed food and record whether the edible portion is a leaf, flower, seed, fruit, stem, root, or tuber. The task therefore combines botanical vocabulary with everyday food knowledge and research practice. It does not provide a completed chart, definitions for the seven structures, or assertions about any specific food in the customer-facing copy.
