Solution
The correct option is A Carbohydrates
Roots are mostly underground structures present in plants that develop from the radicle. They absorb water, minerals and nutrients from the soil. They also anchor plants into the ground and give them support and prevent them from blowing away by the wind or washing away by the soil. A modified lateral root that functions as a storage organ is called tuberous root or storage root. Carbohydrate is the stored food reserve. For example, carrots and beets are tuberous roots that are modified from taproots.
