Statement 2: Plants generally remain fixed to soil.

• A. Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false
• B. Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true
• C. Both the statements are true
• D. Both the statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Both the statements are true

Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil and hold the plant firmly in the ground. Plants cannot move around like animals, but they still show movements. Shoots grow; leaves turn towards the sun. If a plant has flowers, they open and close. Climber plants have fine tendrils, or stems, that reach out until they find something firm to grip onto.
