Prairie plants roots, like all plant roots, move water and nutrients from the soil into the plant. Because prairie habitat is often dry the root systems are huge. In any natural prairie these plant roots partner with mycorrhizal fungi creating a fungus root that further increases the root zone by a factor of 10 to 1000. The roots remain in the soil. If the plant dies the roots become organic matter cycled back to other plants. If the plant is burned in the frequent grass fires the prairie often sees the plant regrows from the roots left in the soil.

There are many things a plants roots do for an ecosystem. Plants roots help prevent erosion of soil for example.
the loss of leaves help a plant survive winter becuase the plant doesnt have to lose and give water much more
they help plants to grow healthy and strong.
the roots serve as the anchor of the plant.
Some plants grow up and down, the directions being determined by gravity. (stem up, roots down)

An adaptation plants have to survive on land is their vascular tissue. This allows them to absorb food, water, and nutrients through their roots. Photosynthesis also allows them to receive energy via natural sunlight.

Roots anchor a plant in place, dissolve nutrients, and absorb water. The roots hold the plant in place against forces such as wind, and rain, and protect the plant form harmful soil bacteria and fungi.
Dig through the snow for food

long roots probably help it get water from further underground.
all living things need water to survive. ie; plants without water will die which means there wouldn't be any oxygen which means we couldn't survive.
