What is ground tissues role in roots?
A
Structure and support
B
Stores food and water
C
Where photosynthesis occurs
D
Transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ground tissue makes up most of the interior of a plant. It carries out basic metabolic functions and stores food and water. Vascular tissue runs through the ground tissue inside a plant. It consists of bundles of xylem and phloem, which transport fluids throughout the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parenchyma is a versatile ground tissue that generally constitutes the “filler” tissue in soft parts of plants. It forms, among other things, the cortex (outer region) and pith (central region) of stems, the cortex of roots, the mesophyll of leaves, the pulp of fruits, and the endosperm of seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parenchyma cells store food material in the form of oil, fats, proteins, and starch, for example, parenchymatous tissues in roots and stem tubers. So, parenchyma is a simple permanent tissue that helps in storing food in plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ground tissue is every one of the tissues aside from the vascular packs and the epidermis. They structure the inside of organs, with the exemption being the vascular framework. They include basic tissues, for example, sclerenchyma, collenchyma and parenchyma.
