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.
