Question

plant part | function(s) of the plant part
roots | absorbs water and mineral salts
leaves | takes sunlight and makes food for the plant (photosynthesis)
stem |
compare the functions listed in the table with the functions you have matched in the plant puzzle. did you match the functions to the correct plant parts?

Explanation:

First, confirm the correct functions for each plant part: roots absorb water and mineral salts (already correctly matched), leaves perform photosynthesis to make food (already correctly matched), and stems transport water, nutrients, and food between roots and leaves, while also supporting the plant. Then, verify the existing matches are correct, and fill in the stem's function.

Answer:

1. The existing matches for roots and leaves are correct.
2. The function for Stem is: Transports water, nutrients, and food between roots and leaves; supports the plant.
3. Yes, the functions for roots and leaves were matched to the correct plant parts, and the stem's function is now properly added.
