It is a Greek word.
It is made up of the words φως (phos, meaning light) and σύνθεσις (synthesis, meaning putting things together in order to make something).
Therefore the meaning is "using light to make something" (energy to grow, etc) Save
Via Wikipedia:
Photosynthesis; from the Greek φώτο- [photo-], "light," and σÏνθεσις [synthesis], "putting together", "composition"
Photo means light, and synthesis means "placing with". In Greek photosynthesis is fo̱tosýnthesi̱.

Nothing. It is based on two Greek words.
Roots are underground so they don't get any energy from sunlight they need for photosynthesis.
Potatoes are roots, they don't use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plants to make 'food' for the plant. Roots take up nutrients from soil.

Yes.Photosynthesis turns sunlight into food for the plant. Because the roots are underground, they don't get any sunlight. This prevents them from performing photosynthesis.
Roots are underground so they don't get any energy from sunlight they need for photosynthesis.
Water used in photosynthesis by plants is made available by roots. That is why roots of plants are important to photosynthesis in terrestrial plants. Aqatic plants absorb water from their free surface, hence role of roots in these plants is limited.
photosynthesis
The roots of a plant.

Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves.

Plants get the water they require for photosynthesis by absorbing from the soil through their root systems. It is then transported up the stem and to the leaves where is is used to synthesise sugars through photosynthesis.
