Lignin would fall into the functional group OH.
lignin hardened vascular tissues to transport water and nutrients
Lignin is a type of polymer found in the cell walls of plant cells that provides support and structure for the plant- it makes them rigid.

Acidified phloroglucinol is used as a stain for the detection of lignin. If lignin is present, it will turn a bright red colour.

One of the things that phyloroglucin contains is lignin.
The source of lignin in the soil is dead plants.
Lignin is a biopolymer that gives support to vascular plants, and is thought to have evolved after aquatic plants took on land. many aquatic plants produce lignin or lignin-like polyphenols however. There is still debate on distinguishing terrestrial from aquatic plant lignin.

A chemical substance called lignin hardens cell walls. Lignin is formed by removing water from sugars to create aromatic structures.
