The roots absorb water from the ground; water is one of the main ingredients for photosynthesis. They also provide all of the other nutrients and minerals required to make the chlorophyll, for the synthesis to occur in the first place.

What plant part is not green?
The roots of a plant are not green. A part of a plant is green because it contains chlorophyll, which is used for photosynthesis. Since no light penetrates the ground to reach the roots, the roots need no chlorophyll, and so are brown instead of green.
Why does photosynthesis not happen in the root of a plant?
Roots are underground so they don't get any energy from sunlight they need for photosynthesis.
How does the potato get from photosynthesis to your product?
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.
Does the photosynthesis take place in the leave or in the roots?
in the leaf.it takes in sunlight to start the process of photosynthesis
What do plants roots soak up for photosynthesis?
water
Is photosynthesis happen in some aerial roots?
Not if they're not green.

Does photosynthesis take place in the leaves?
Photosynthesis only occurs in chlorophyll, which is what gives leaves their green color. Since chlorophyll only exists o in leaves, the roots can not perform photosynthesis. As well, photosynthesis obviously requires sunlight, which roots are not normally exposed to.
Why does photosynthesis not happen in the root of a plant?
Roots are underground so they don't get any energy from sunlight they need for photosynthesis.
Which part of a plant produces new material 'food' for growth?
it is leaves
Why are The roots of plants are important to 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.
What part of the plant absorb water for photosynthesis?
The roots of a plant.
How does grass roots grow?
photosynthesis
How does the potato get from photosynthesis to your product?

What phylum does okra belong to?
Kingdom Plantae they're green they undergo photosynthesis, and they have roots, stems, and leaves.
Where does photosynthesis take placein the leaves or roots?
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves.
Why is there no chlorophyll in the roots?
Root hair cells are found underground, where there is no light. Chloroplasts help the process of photosynthesis. As there is no light, no photosynthesis takes place so chloroplasts are not needed.
