$<marquee>Answer$

In most vascular plants, roots are underground structures that anchor the plant and provide a means to absorb the nutrients and water needed for growth of the plant body. New root tips grow continuously throughout the life of the plant and provide the surfaces through which most of the nutrients and water move. Roots are used as storage organs for the food materials produced by the shoots. The major functions of roots, thus, can be summarized simply as absorption, conduction, storage, and anchorage.
