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 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.

Leaves, on the other hand, primarily function in photosynthesis and gas exchange.

How do plant roots depend on plant leaves?

Plant roots depend on plant leaves for photosynthesis to produce sugars, which provide energy for root growth and function. Additionally, leaves help regulate the water balance in plants through transpiration, which influences the uptake of water and nutrients by roots. Overall, the relationship between plant roots and leaves is essential for the healthy growth and development of plants.
