Roots serve as the structure that water and minerals enter into a plant...specifically by the root hairs. Water can only move one way in a root, and this one way movement creates something called root pressure. Roots also serve to anchor the plant in soil.
Leaves have the job of capturing sunlight so that photosynthesis (the synthesis of glucose, from carbon dioxide and water) can occurs there.
What else can I help you with?
What function is shared by roots and stems but not by leaves?
Storage of nutrients and water is a function shared by roots and stems, but not by leaves. Roots store nutrients and absorb water from the soil, while stems can store energy and water to be used by the plant when needed. Leaves, on the other hand, primarily function in photosynthesis and gas exchange.
How do you distinguish rhizome are stem and not root?
Rhizomes are specialized stems that grow horizontally underground and produce roots and shoots at distinct nodes. They are differentiated from roots by their ability to store nutrients, produce leaves and buds, and have branching nodes. Roots, on the other hand, mainly function in anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients.
Can succulent leaves grow roots on their own?
Yes, succulent leaves can grow roots on their own through a process called propagation.
What are the 3 primary organs in a vascular plant?
Leaves, roots, and stems.
Parts of a flowering plant?
A flowering plant consists of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. The roots help in anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. The stem provides support to the plant and helps transport water and nutrients. The leaves are involved in photosynthesis, while the flowers are responsible for reproduction.

What is a xylem job or function?
The xylem takes water up from the roots of a plant to the leaves.
Whats The function of a stem is to pass water to the roots?
Because that's where the plant can absorb the water...not through the flowers or leaves.
Would you expect a plant's roots or leaves to have more chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts need sunlight for its function. So leaves have more chloroplasts
What carries the sap from the roots to the leaves in a tree?
capillary action as a function of fluid contact angle
What are the function of root and leaf?
The roots take in water and food - the leaves expel carbon dioxide.
Does the branch have the same function as a stem?
stem transports water from roots but branches transport from the to leaves
What function do the organs under the aerial shoot system performs?
amh. the function of the organs of aerial shoot system under the roots or leaves?
What functions each part of a plant?
The Roots, Stems and Leaves are the main parts of the plant
What is the function of the veins in the leaf?
they pass the water and minerals absorbed from the roots to other parts of the plant, like leaves.
What are leaves roots and stems?
leaves roots and stems are part of a tree
What function moves water and dissolved minerals from roots up the stem to the leaves?
The function responsible for moving water and dissolved minerals from roots up the stem to the leaves is capillary action. This process relies on the cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules to move up the plant's vascular tissues.
