Answer 1

Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil.

Plants depend on soil for water and nutrients they need. They meet this need with the help of their underground parts called roots. Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil for the other plant parts. They also provide anchorage to the plants. At the same time, stems support the whole plant and help it to stand erect.
