They anchor the plant to support the shoots above. They absorb water and mineral nutrients and conduct them upward. They store carbohydrates and other nutrients that are a source of energy for woodies, perennials, and biennials as they awaken and grow in spring.

Answer:

The functionality of root is explained below.

Explanation:

Physical support of plants: fix the root system of the plant or push the system into the soil. The roots under the soil help to maintain the condition of the plant by providing physical support. The rotating roots provide better adhesion of the plant to the soil and make the plant resistant to falling during storms.

Absorption of nutrients: the root absorbs water and directs minerals and nutrients dissolved in the soil to the plant. Root hairs are delicate structures that are located near the soil and absorb nutrients from the soil. Root hairs absorb nutrients and conduct them through the xylem to the stem system by capillarity. Therefore, the root system provides nutrients to plants for growth. In addition, fibrous roots are more efficient in absorbing nutrients deep in the soil.

Plant food storage: The root system also acts as a storage organ of the plant, primarily storing water and carbohydrates. This plant prepares food during photosynthesis and stores it in certain parts of the plant such as leaves, stems and roots. Peyote roots are more efficient in absorbing food than fibrous roots.

Helps in Photosynthesis: Roots play an important role in the process of photosynthesis. Plants take water from the root system and transpiration releases excess water from the stomata. When water vapor leaves the stomata, the CO2 required for photosynthesis enters the plant cells.

Ecological benefits: Roots are a part of soil ecology that compacts the soil and prevents plants from being blown away by wind and water.
