Explanation:

Many people do not know, but the root is an organ that is part of plants. Generally, the root of the plant is below the surface of the soil and has two specific functions that consist of fixing the plant to the soil and also to absorb water, nitrogen compounds and other types of substances such as phosphorus and potassium (which consist of raw or inorganic matter). In general, the roots are not edible (for humans), but there are a type of roots, called tuberous roots, that can be eaten. An example of this type of root is cassava and carrots.

Answer 2

Plant Roots. The root system of a plant constantly provides the stems and leaves with water and dissolved minerals. In order to accomplish this the roots must grow into new regions of the soil. The growth and metabolism of the plant root system is supported by the process of photosynthesis occurring in the leaves.
