Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Root
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The items 'Branch : Stem : Leaf' all belong to the class of plant parts (morphological structures). The task is to identify from the options another member of this same category and avoid items that are not plant parts.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
'Root' is a fundamental plant organ like stem and leaf. 'Tree' denotes the whole organism, not a part; 'Chair' and 'Glass' are man-made objects. Therefore, the only option maintaining the plant-part category is 'Root'.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Determine the shared class: plant morphological parts.2) Evaluate options for membership in this class.3) 'Root' is a plant organ parallel to 'stem' and 'leaf'. Others are not plant parts.4) Choose 'Root'.
Verification / Alternative check:
Basic botany lists four primary organs: root, stem, leaf, and flower (with derivatives). Root therefore matches the category directly.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Choosing the whole (tree) when the set contains parts. Maintain the same granularity.
Final Answer:
Root
