Plants Parts and Needs — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A small seed has everything needed to grow a new plant.
Seeds carry baby plants and food to help them sprout in soil.
2. Gardeners pour water using a watering can with a long spout.
Watering cans give plants a gentle shower without hurting tiny young leaves.
3. A rake helps gardeners gather leaves into a tidy pile.
Rakes have many teeth that comb leaves and grass into neat piles.
4. A baby plant just sprouting is called a sprout.
Sprouts are tiny new plants pushing tender green leaves up toward sunlight.
5. Plants grow toward the bright sun to make food.
Plants lean toward the sun so leaves can soak up light for energy.
6. Gardeners wear gloves to keep their hands clean.
Gloves protect hands from dirt, sharp twigs, and prickly thorns while gardening.
7. Seeds need warm soil and water to sprout and grow.
Warm, wet soil tells seeds to sprout and push roots and stems out.
8. A shovel is used to dig holes for planting seeds.
Shovels make perfect holes so seeds get covered at the right depth.
9. Plants need rich soil full of food for healthy roots.
Good soil holds water and nutrients that plant roots need to grow.
