Bioinformatics exercise on extracting FASTA sequences corresponding to taxon from a microbiome sequencing experimet in another file (.TSV)

Please see attached taxonomy_metadata.tsv (tab-delimited) and sequences.fasta files.

https://anonfiles.com/N0W39188pd/Assignment_zip

These are output files from the tool QIIME2 (for further details, please see https://docs.qiime2.org).

What would be an easy/short script to extract sequences that correspond, for example, to taxon k__Fungi;p__unidentified;c__unidentified;o__unidentified;f__unidentified;g__unidentified;s__unidentified? then run the sequences through BLAST to get the results. Please attach your results and source code

I tried using python and pandas packages but... I don't really have knowledge in programming and I'm quite lost bc of the file types and how they are structured. I don't think working with them as tables will give an easy answer.

Thanks for your help!
