Answer 6

Predation of above- and below-ground parts, exterior and interior parts is the way that insects attack crops. The type of mouthparts, for instance, as chewing, piercing/sipping, siphoning or sponging, predicts whether roots or shoots will be attacked. For example, piercing/sipping mouthparts largely will be associated with breaking through leaf, stalk and stem exteriors to access internal, nutrient-rich xylem or sugar-rich phloem.
