Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Providing anchorage to the plant
B Absorbing water and minerals
D Prevent soil erosion

Roots of a plant are present deep inside the soil. They anchor the plant in place. Roots help in absorption of water and minerals from the soil, which are then transported to other parts of the plant. Roots hold the top layer of the soil intact. This prevents soil erosion.
