Detailed explanation-1: -The roots of plant have two primary functions. Roots anchor the plant firmly to the soil. This enables the plants to stand upright. The other function is to absorb water and minerals from the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary function (most important job) of the roots is to take in water and nutrients. Just like people, plants need water and nutrients to grow! Roots also anchor the plant, and help the plant survive periods with too much or too little water and nutrients.
Detailed explanation-3: -Soil is a major source of nutrients needed by plants for growth. The three main nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Together they make up the trio known as NPK. Other important nutrients are calcium, magnesium and sulfur.
Detailed explanation-4: -Taproot System: This system consists of a single main vertical root with many smaller side roots. Examples of this type of system are: carrots, turnips, and dandelions. They serve as excellent reserves for food and anchor the plant well.
