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.
