Question

Can roots undergo photosynthetic activity? Yes or no. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

Plant roots generally rely on aboveground photosynthesis as their energy source; however, the current results suggest that when plants lose their aboveground organs, namely the shoots, they induce chloroplast development and enhance photosynthetic activity in the roots, as well as repair damaged tissues.

Answer 2

Answer:

"Plant roots usually grow underground as heterotrophic organs and depend on aerial leaves for energy, although roots of some epiphytic plants turn green and perform active photosynthesis"
