Roots provide several crucial functions in a plant's life. They absorb water and mineral nutrients, anchor the plant to the ground, support the plant and store food. According to the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, roots determine the size, vigor and adaptability of a plant. Some nutrient-rich roots provide food for people and animals.
Vigor is defined as strength and health.
