Best Answer

Since roots are embedded in the soil, they cannot photosynthesize. But the roots are actively growing and using energy. The best way to get the energy is to use the sugars being produced in the leaves in cellular respiration which requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

Yes, like all other living cells of plants, root cells also need oxygen to generate energy. Roots take up air from the air spaces present between the soil particles

Roots get oxygen in soil by the small spaces between the soil particles and it gives out carbon dioxide in return.

Hope this helps..
