If plants did not have roots and had another way of getting water and nutrients then the plant would just roll around on the ground. the roots keep the plant in its place and keep it hunkered down in the dirt. if they didn't have roots to keep it in the ground than plants would have a hard time staying in one place.
What else can I help you with?
What do plants absorb through their roots?
Plants absorb water and nutrients through their roots.
How plants get nutrients?
Plants get nutrients from the soil they are in. The nutrients dissolve in the water and are then absorbed from the plant's roots. Plants make food with photosynthesis.
How do rocks effect plants?
Plants roots are surprisingly strong. They can break into rocks with there roots and break them apart.
What are the main causes of weathering?
Freezing weather, dramatic changes in temperature, the roots of trees or plants searching for nutrients in the ground therefore breaking it apart, etc.
Can plants steal other plants nutrients?
Yes, some plants can release chemicals to inhibit the growth of neighboring plants and compete for nutrients. This process is known as allelopathy. Additionally, some plants with invasive roots can outcompete other plants for nutrients by absorbing them from the soil before neighboring plants can access them.
How do stems absorb water and nutrients?
from the roots of the plants
What structure of plants are used in the transportation of nutrients?
roots
Does neutralisation in plants occur in the roots?
yes it does occur in the roots as it takes nutrients from the soil.
Is absorbed through the roots?
Plants absorb water and nutrients from the soil though their roots.
Do seed plants have roots or stems?
Seed plants have both roots and stems. Roots anchor the plant in the ground and absorb water and nutrients, while stems support the plant and transport water and nutrients between roots and leaves.
What are the main causes of mechanical weathering?
Freezing weather, dramatic changes in temperature, the roots of trees or plants searching for nutrients in the ground therefore breaking it apart, etc.
How do plants get nutrients from roots?
Through conducting tissue (xylem)
