Answer:
Normal functions of root are:
- Anchorage: They fix the plant to the soil firmly and provide mechanical support to the aerial shoot system.
- Absorption: They absorb mineral nutrients and water from soil.
- Transport of nutrients: Sugar produced in the leaves by photosynthesis is transported upto the root tip.
- Conduction of water and minerals: The root brings about upward movement of absorbed water and minerals from the soil.
- Prevention of soil erosion: The rocts hold the soil particle firmly together and thereby prevent soil erosion.
