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.

Vascular plants
it is important to separate and purify substances so that: 1.we can get them in their pure form. 2.to remove undesirable particles from them.
1. break down food into simpler substances 2. absorb them so that they can be used by the body
1.fats 2.hormones 3. enzymes 4.carbohydrates
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
Vascular and Non-vascular plants
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]
plants and fungi but of different substances cellulose , chitin respectively
By evolution, it could develop thorns to keep consumers away. Some plants store bitter substances in their vacuoles to stop consumers from consuming the whole plant. Also, plants tend to bend toward the direction of sunlight to increase their production of "food" by photosynthesis.
Most metals and most plastics are solid at 50 oC.
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
a hygroscopic object absorbs moisture from the air.
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
