The planet Earth is made up of a number of different layers. The deepest layer is the core. The core is extremely hot and contains molten metals. The outer layer is the crust, which is where we live. Between the core and the crust is a layer called the mantle. The mantle is the biggest of Earth's layers. The mantle contains both solid and melted rocks.

question

Read the text.

There are two main types of plants: vascular and nonvascular. Vascular plants have tubes in their stems that bring water and nutrients to different parts of the plant. These tubes allow vascular plants to grow to be much larger, on average, than nonvascular plants. Nonvascular plants don't have these tubes. They are smaller, shorter, and often found near water, because water can't move through these plants as easily.

Match the words with the pictures.

solution

A vascular plant has tubes that carry water and nutrients throughout the plant. Vascular plants, such as trees, can grow quite tall because of these tubes.

A nonvascular plant does not have tubes to carry water and nutrients throughout the plant. Nonvascular plants, such as moss, usually stay small and prefer wet environments.
