Solution

The correct option is A

Roots


Roots help in holding the plant firmly in the soil. They anchor the plant to the soil. In other words, roots help the plant to stand upright without falling.

The major function of root are:

1) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients, 2) anchoring of the plant body to the ground, and supporting it, 3) storage of food and nutrients, 4) vegetative reproduction.
