No, actually root are there so that the plant can absorb water and minerals in the soil.
1. to absorb water and minerals 2. to hold the plant down and keep it anchored
Stems support the leaves, flowers and fruits. Roots absorb water and minerals and keep the plant seated at a place. Leaves perform photosynthesis and transpiration etc.
sucks water into the plant
The roots take in water and minerals to nourish the plant, and they also anchor the plant in the ground.
Plants have roots, because when the water falls into the soil, the roots gather the water and sends it p to the plant to keep it alive.
Roots
There are a variety of plants and trees that absorb water faster than others. Some of these include willow trees, the River Birch and Black Gum also absorb a lot of water.
Plant roots absorb water, and anything that may be dissolved in that water.
The roots purpose of a plant is to gather water from the soil to keep the plant alive and keep the plant from blowing away. There are two main kinds of roots, tap roots (Large roots that grows straight down.) and fibrous roots (Many roots grow in all directions.)
1. keep plant from blowing away in the wind 2. take in water and minerals from the soil through tiny parts called root hairs some roots also have a third function: storing extra food
Minerals and nutrients, which keep the plant strong!
If plants did not have roots and had another way of getting water and nutrients then the plant would just roll around on the ground. the roots keep the plant in its place and keep it hunkered down in the dirt. if they didn't have roots to keep it in the ground than plants would have a hard time staying in one place.
