2  Transport of fluids between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem

3  Storage of nutrients.

4  Production of new living tissue.

LEAVES

The primary function of leaves is to collect sunlight as the energy source to drive photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process that occurs in plant cells. The chlorophyll (green pigment located within the chloroplasts) is what captures the sunlight energy.

Answer 2

The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and anchor the plant in the ground. The stem supports the plant above ground, and carries the water and minerals to the leaves. The leaves collect energy from the Sun and make food for the plant, using an amazing process called photosynthesis.
