Science Quiz - The Parts of a Plant (Questions)

In this KS2 Science quiz, we explore the names and jobs of plant parts like roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.

Plants have different parts, and each part has a special job! Leaves catch sunlight and make food, while roots take in water and nutrients. The Venus Flytrap is a unique plant that eats insects, but it still makes food from sunlight like other plants.

Do you know what flowers do, or which part carries water from roots? Test your plant knowledge with this fun science quiz!

2. Which part of a plant transports water from its roots to the rest of the plant?
[x] Stem
[ ] Flowers
[ ] Seeds
[ ] Leaves
Stems also provide support for plants and help leaves to reach the sunlight
3. Which parts of a plant anchor it to the ground and also absorb water from the soil?
[ ] Stem
[ ] Flowers
[x] Roots
[ ] Leaves
Nutrients are also absorbed from the soil by roots
4. Flowers play a role in which of a plant's life processes?
[ ] Plant nutrition
[ ] Plant excretion
[x] Plant reproduction
[ ] Plant respiration
Flowers are where pollen is transferred, eggs are fertilised and seeds and fruits develop
5. What do we call a tree's stem?
[ ] Its tap root
[x] Its trunk
[ ] Its bud
[ ] Its seed pod
Tree trunks are much harder than the stems of other types of plants - that's because they are made of wood!
6. When a seed germinates, what is the first plant part to grow out of the seed?
[ ] A flower
[ ] A leaf
[ ] A shoot
[x] A root
First the root grows, then a shoot
7. Which one of the following is not one of the female parts of a flower?
[x] Stamen
[ ] Ovary

The stamen is the male part of a flower
8. What will the fertilised ovary of a flower become?
[ ] A root
[x] A fruit
[ ] A shoot
