Solution

If the roots of a plant are removed and planted in a pot, the plant will not survive.
The reasons are as follows:
The roots are the part of the plant which remain under the soil.
They absorb water and minerals from the soil.
Without the roots, the plant will not get the water and minerals and hence, will die eventually as water is essential for the plants to prepare food.
