Physical support to the Failureinternational Rest In Peace Tayvion Cole Shirt : The root system anchors the plant body or shoots system to the soil. Roots located below the soil help maintain the plant’s posture by providing physical support. Pivoting roots provide better attachment of the plant to the soil and make the plant resistant to overturning during storms. Nutrient absorption: Roots promote water absorption and conduction of dissolved minerals and nutrients in the soil into the plant body. Root hairs are fine structures that lie close to the soil and absorb nutrients from the soil. Root hairs absorb nutrients and conduct them to the shoot system through the xylem by capillary action. Thus, the root system provides nutrients to the plant for growth or development. In addition, fibrous roots are more efficient at absorbing nutrients deep in the soil. Stores plant food: The root system also acts as the plant’s storage organ, which stores mainly water and carbohydrates. The plant prepares its food during photosynthesis and stores it in the specialized part of the plant such as the leaf, stem, and roots. Pivoting roots are more efficient at absorbing food than fibrous roots. Helps in photosynthesis: Roots play an essential role in the process of photosynthesis. A plant obtains water from the root system and releases excess water through stomata by transpiration. When water vapors leave the stomata, CO2 enters the plant cell, necessary for photosynthesis.
