Question 9

Match the part of plant given in Column I with their function in Column II.

$\begin{array}{cccc}& \text{Column I}& & \text{Column II}\\ \text{(a)}& \text{Flower}& \text{(i)}& \text{Excretion}\\ \text{(b)}& \text{Leaf}& \text{(ii)}& \text{Photosynthesis}\\ \text{(c)}& \text{Stem}& \text{(iii)}& \text{Reproduction}\\ \text{(d)}& \text{Root}& \text{(iv)}& \text{Bears branches}\\ & & \left(v\right)& \text{Anchorage}\end{array}$

Answer 1

The correct matching is as given:

$\begin{array}{cccc}& \text{Column I}& & \text{Column II}\\ \text{(a)}& \text{Flower}& \left(iii\right)& \text{Reproduction}\\ \text{(b)}& \text{Leaf}& \left(ii\right)& \text{Photosynthesis}\\ \text{(c)}& \text{Stem}& \left(iv\right)& \text{Bears branches}\\ \text{(d)}& \text{Root}& \left(v\right)& \text{Anchorage}\end{array}$

Flowers are the reproductive part of a plant. A flower has four major parts, namely, sepals, petals, stamens and pistil. All these parts help in reproduction in plants and ultimately, give rise to a new plant.

Leaves produce food for the plant. The process by which leaves prepare their food in the presence of sunlight by using water and carbon dioxide is called photosynthesis.

Stems are the long, supportive axis of the plants. The primary function of the stem is to hold up buds, flowers, leaves, and fruits to the plant.

Roots are the supportive parts which fix plants in its region of growth. Also, they support the plant body and make them stand erect.
