About the roots

Hi,
Miss Coelho

The roots help provide support by anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients needed for growth.They can also store sugars and carbohydrates that the plant uses to carry out other functions.Plants can have either a taproot system (such as carrots) or a fibrous root system (such as turf grass). In both cases, the roots are what carries the water and nutrients needed for plants to grow.

Love,
Aayisha
