Hypernym Words

A hypernym is a word with a broad meaning that more specific words fall under; a superordinate. For example, color is a hypernym of red. Can you name these hypernyms based on the items I give you?

I will give you the hyponyms, (more specific items that fall under the hypernym).

These are DIRECT superordinates (i.e. potato, carrot, and celery would be vegetable, and not food).
