Detailed explanation-1: -Anchoring of the plant to the soil. Absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. Conduction of absorbed water and nutrients to stem. Storage of food. Vegetative reproduction and competition with other plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many plants store food in their roots. Perennial plants in temperate climates must store enough food over the winter to have the energy they need to sprout in the spring. Because of this food-storage function, many types of roots are filled with nutrients, starches, and sugars.
