What are the two main functions of a plant root?
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
Deep roots that have tiny hairs to absorb water and nutrients?
tap root
How is the shape of the root hair cell is specilised to help it absorb water and minerals from the soil?
root hairs are numerous tiny hair like roots that spread from the main roots, creating a larger surface area for the absorption of mineral salts. The gradient is the main cause, of transport. The mineral salts diffuse across the concentration gradient,
What moves food from the plants leaves to its other parts?
Tiny tube-like veins called phloem transport material inside a plant. For example, water from the roots travels up these tubes to reach the leaves, and the energy from photosynthesis travels down the tubes to reach the roots.
What do plants use to get water?
plants can absorb water through tiny pores in their roots. i dont know what the pores are called though. they also gain water by their leaves through holes which are called stroma, this is a gap in the leaf, and is surrounded by Guard Cells.

What roles do fruits and seeds play in the plant system?
Roots act like straws absorbing water and minerals from the soil. Tiny root hairs stick out of the root, helping in the absorption. Roots help to anchor the plant in the soil so it does not fall over. Roots also store extra food for future use.
