Two important substances that enter a plant through the roots would be nutrients and water. Water is extremely important for the plant to be able to make food.
This process is called carbon fixation. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and convert it into organic compounds like glucose to produce energy.
elements and compounds
Vascular plants
Most plants share three main parts: roots, stems, and leaves. The roots anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Stems provide support for the plant and transport water and nutrients to the leaves. Leaves are the main site of photosynthesis, where plants produce food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Nothing would 'happen.' There are many herbaceous plants that grow to over 2 meters, for example Giant Hogweed and Gunera.
1. break down food into simpler substances 2. absorb them so that they can be used by the body
Vascular and Non-vascular plants
1. They produce ash that fertilizes the soil 2. The lava destroys old plants so new ones can grow in and absorb the old plants' nutrients
1. Rhizoids keep plants attached on the soil 2. Rhizoids absorb water and nutrients Rhizoids utilize capillary action to absorb water by moving the water up them for absorption by certain plants, sponges and fungi. They use the same methods to absorb nutrients. Edit : to obtain water [GradPoint/Novanet]
absorb water and absorb nutrients
They need many things from soil. They are: 1. Ground to stand on - The soil gives the plants roots space to fix in and form the base on which the plant grows 2. Water - the roots of the plants go deep into the soil and absorb water 3. Nutrients - the roots of the plants go deep into the soil and absorb nutrients like phosporus, ammonia etc that are present in the soil
The three things needed for plants to make photosynthesis is: 1) water, which the plants absorb through their roots. 2) Carbon Dioxide, which the plant absorbs through its leaves and 3) Sunlight which the plant also absorbs through its leaves. The products of a successful photosynthesis is sugar, C6H12O6, and most importantly, air, O2.
Advantages are: - it uses less energy and is less likely to experience harmful mutation during reproduction - it enables the body to absorb a large amount of the needed substances in food

This process is called carbon fixation. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and convert it into organic compounds like glucose to produce energy.
the most elementary answer is Glucose Oxygen
