• Bread, pasta, and cereal

What are the three main parts of a seed?

• Branch, twig, and trunk

• Fruit, flower, and bark

• Seed coat, embryo, and endosperm

• Root, stem, and leaves

What role does the seed coat play?

• It stores extra water for the seed

• It protects the embryo and prevents drying out

• It attracts insects for pollination

• It provides sunlight to the seed

What does a seed need to start germinating?

• Fertilizer, high heat, and shade

• Darkness, cold, and dryness

• Soil, insects, and air

• Water, correct temperature, and light

What is the first part of the plant to emerge from the seed?

• Flowers

• Leaves

• Root

• Stem

Why does the root grow downwards?

• To look for insects

• To find more water and minerals

• To escape the sunlight

• To grow towards the seed

What happens after the shoot breaks through the soil?

• The plant starts producing fruits

• The plant no longer needs the endosperm

• The plant loses its leaves

• The plant stops growing

What does a mature plant do?

• It produces seeds of its own

• It shrinks back into the soil

• It sleeps during the day

• It changes color
