口 is mouth and 乞 looks like 饣(food; to eat), so you can memorize that the meaning of ‘吃’ is to eat.

The radical is 口 = mouth. We use it to eat food. The bottom part of the character also looks like a spoon.

It looks like someone, the left side, sitting at a table, the right side, in which they would eat at.

the top right can be thought of a spoon, bottom right can be thought of a desk. And the person is opening the mouth for the spoon to come in. Thus, “to eat”

The mouth radical represents a plate, and I am sitting in front of my food.

We eat with the mouth. The character next to mouth on top looks like a utensil that is used to eat. The little thing below, which looks like a noodle.

The left part is the mouth radical, while the right part looks like a fishing hook. The person’s mouth throws the hook out to fish for food to “eat.”

The left side is a plate, the top right is a fork, the bottom right is a spoon, you need a plate, spoon, and fork to eat.

The right part of the character looks like someone with a full belly (the round stroke) because they ate a lot, and they still have their “mouth” wide open for more!

After remembering the mouth radical on the left side, it might be good to remember a small roof and then a little curved out Z.

Think of using your mouth to eat. The large “口” radical at the left can be a mouth, which is needed for eating.

It looks like a car at the drive through window and there is a overhang over the car. You go to the drive thru to get food to eat.
