With the help of examples descripe how different plants parts serve as sources of foid

Some of the foods we eat come from animals, including beef, veal, lamb, pork, fish and chicken. Other foods come from plants, including rice, wheat, fruit, beans and vegetables.
We also eat food that animals make. For example, chickens produce eggs and cows give milk. Plants produce food too, such as edible fruits. Plant and animal foods are used to make other foods, such as bread and cheese.
Many processed foods use a combination of foods from animal and plant sources. Biscuits are made from flour (food from a plant) while also containing butter and milk (food sourced from an animal).Some foods are produced from the flesh or internal organs of animals, such as:
beef, lamb, kangaroo, pork and mutton (red meats)
chicken and fish (white meats)
heart, liver, kidneys and brains (organ meats).
Most of these foods come from farmed animals. They are raised until they reach a target weight, then are slaughtered (killed) and butchered (cut up) for us to buy, cook and eat. Some animals, like kangaroos and most fish, are killed or caught in their natural environments. Fruit is one of the many foods we get from plants. Other parts of plants we use for food include:
leaves and stems – celery, lettuce, silver beet
roots – potatoes, carrots, beetroot, cassava, radish, parsnip
seeds – wheat, rice, legumes, ground nuts (peanuts), tree nuts (walnuts, almonds).
Most plant foods eaten in Australia are produced on farms and orchards, but some are grown in greenhouses.
