What structure helps to anchor the plant in the soil?
A
leaf
B
flower
C
stem
D
root
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The root hairs also help to anchor the plant in the soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -The taproot also anchors the plant very securely in the ground. Fibrous root systems have many small branching roots, called fibrous roots, but no large primary root. The huge number of threadlike roots increases the surface area for absorption of water and minerals, but fibrous roots anchor the plant less securely.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anchor roots (ANRs) are a type of AR that originate immediately below the root-hypocotyl junction in an auxin-dependent manner and that require a diapocarotenoid-derived signal (anchorene) to emerge (Jia et al., 2019).
