97 How do the roots of land plants get oxygen for respiration?

Open in App

Solution

Plant roots breathe under the earth's surface.
The air in the spaces between the soil particles provides oxygen to root cells.
On the roots of the plants, there are many root hairs.
The oxygen from the air diffuses through the root hair and reaches the root cells (between soil particles).
This oxygen is used in the respiration process.
