a.
To determine: Which part of the plant is the tomato.
Concept introduction: The plant body consists of a root system and shoots system. The roots are formed under the soil, and the upper part forms a shoot that gives rise to a leaf, stem, flower, and fruit. The root anchors the plant to the soil and transports minerals and water and stores food. The leaves are the primary sites of photosynthesis and help in exchange of gases with the atmosphere and to dissipate the heat.
