Question

Paheli wants to know whether roots, which are underground also take in oxygen? If so, how?

Answer 1

Thanks for asking the question.
Yes, roots of plants which are under the ground also absorb oxygen. Actually the roots have protrusions known as the root hairs which enhance the surface area of absorption of the roots. they absorb the oxygen present in the soil by the process of diffusion. The process is facilitated by the empty spaces present in the soil.
Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Hey mate here is your answer》》

Yes, roots also take in oxygen. Roots absorb oxygen present in the soil particles through surface of root hairs by the process of diffusion. The cells of roots are living, so they need oxygen to respire and release energy by oxidation of food.
