Answer 2

Roots are a fundamental part of a plant’s development, as they are responsible for "water and mineral absorption", along with providing mechanical support. Roots of most plants possess root hairs, which are unicellular, unbranched structures on the surface, to increase the surface area of absorption of water and minerals.

They penetrate through the soil, not just in search of water and minerals, but also to provide the plant with structural support.
