Yes. Roots can also support the plants by digging deep into the soil where the plant survives.
Long roots of desert plants penetrate deep in the soil in search of capillary water and absorb it for the plant's survival
To adapt to the environment they are in.Example:Some cacti have their roots deep in the ground, to get groundwater.Some cacti have their roots spread out, to catch rainwater. Their roots also secrete an acid that makes it difficult for other plants (including other cacti) to grow on those roots. This limits the competition for water.
Mountain plants have deep roots because the soil is typically poor, rocky, and erode quickly, so their roots need to go deep to secure nutrients and water. Plants with deep root system are better able to exploit accessible resources.Hope this helps, stacey xx 12 yrs old
