to provide structure for the cell, mainly through "turgor pressure" against the cell wall. this keeps the plant stiff.
The cell wall, made of cellulose, keeps plant cells firm.
Sclerenchyma.
Because the root provides stability to the plant, and keeps it firmly in one area. The root also is the part of the plant by which water and nutrients are absorbed from soil - without these, the plant would die.
