    The document describes the key parts of a wheat plant including the roots, which anchor the plant and absorb nutrients; the head or spike, located at the top of the stem, which contains kernels and is protected by a beard; and the stem, which supports the head and leaves and becomes straw after harvest. The kernels provide food for the growing plant and are the only part of wheat used for human and livestock consumption.

    The Wheat Plant

    Using the boldfaced words below, label the parts of the diagram of the wheat plant.
    This annual grass plant grows to be two to three feet tall.

    roots - the part of the plant that gets nourishment from the soil and which anchors
    the wheat plant to the soil
    head (termed spike until it matures) - the part of the plant that contains the kernels
    and the beard, located at the top of the plant stem
    leaves - the parts of the wheat plant that gather light energy for photosynthesis
    kernel - When planted in moist soil, this plant part provides the plant with food to
    grow. Each wheat head contains 50 to 75 of these, which are the only part of the
    wheat plant used for human food and livestock feed.
    beard - This part of the plant looks bristly and protects the kernels.
    stem - the part of the wheat plant that supports the head and becomes straw at
    harvest
