How does the roots of the plant obtain food when it cannot photosynthesise?

Roots do not obtain food. They gather things necessary for photosynthesis, like water from the soil. Minerals are also gathered by the root. The plant has a transport system where one goes up and the other goes down. The root acts more of like a storage system: any excess glucose will be transferred to the roots and stored for later.

Which part of a plant produces new material 'food' for growth?
it is leaves
Why are ecological important?
Glomeromycetes form arbuscular mycorrhizae, which are symbiotic associations with plant roots. They increase surface area for absorption of nutrients and water from the soil. The fungi obtain organic compounds from the plant cells. Absence of such endomycorrhizae reduces ability of plants to obtain nutrition. Many plants cannot survive in their absence.

How do drown?
plants drown because their roots have mitochrondia (in them which supply the plant with energy to survive) that need air which they take from the air spaces in the soil. If there are no air spaces the plant cannot obtain oxygen and they 'drown'.
How does a plant obtain its mass?

How do cuscuta plant obtain their food?

How does water go into a plant?
Through the roots, but some plants obtain humidity through their leaves.
