Solution

The correct option is C roots
Roots help in holding the plant firmly to the soil. They help plants to absorb water and minerals from the soil, which are essential for their survival. In some plants, these roots are modified to perform various other functions like respiration, reproduction, storing food etc. For example, carrot and turnip are modified forms of roots to store food.
