List six parts of the plant that we eat as vegetables and give one example of each.

Plants typically have six basic parts: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. Vegetables, however, are the roots (carrots), tubers (potato), leaves (spinach), stems (celery), and other bits of plants that you might eat. For a botanist, a vegetable is sort of like the umbrella word for all the edible parts of a plant.
