The roots of a plant take up water and nutrients from the soil. Water is essential for photosynthesis and nutrient uptake is needed for growth and development.
The two processes that make the water in the tray available to the plant are capillary action and root uptake. Capillary action allows water to move upward from the tray into the soil through tiny spaces in the soil particles. Root uptake occurs when the plant's roots absorb water from the surrounding soil into the plant's system for utilization in various biological processes.
The zone of elongation occurs when the cells in this zone stretch and lengthen as small vacuoles within the cytoplasm coalesce and fill with water. One or two large vacuoles occupy almost all of the cell volume in fully elongated cells. Cellular expansion in this zone is responsible for pushing the root cap and apical tip forward through the soil.
If a tree has two separate trunks, it likely started as two separate seedlings that grew close together. Over time, these seedlings merged their root systems to draw nutrients and water from the soil. The two trunks then grow independently but share the same root system.
It is not advisable to give excess water to plants because the soil will lose much of its nutrients and minerals. It will become too diluted. ***** Plants that are not adapted to rooting in water (water-lillies, for example), will suffer from rot-rot and die off. Most plants need to root in soil that drains well - though they can probably stand short term flooding.
Roots typically have root hairs, a tissue not found in stems. Root hairs are thin extensions of root epidermal cells that increase the surface area for absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.
Plant roots absorb minerals and water from the soil.
They take up water and some minerals.
To anchor the plant and to absorb water and minerals from the soil
The two things are Legume plants and fertilizers
Multiply the two numbers, then take the square root. For the geometric mean of 3 numbers, multiply all numbers, and take the cubic root, etc.Multiply the two numbers, then take the square root.

Two functions of roots are to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
well I'm no scientist but it doesn't take rocket science to figure out that the two things plants need sunlight and water to survive. But others things they need are minerals from the soil to make glucose.
soil and sunlight
The function of the roots of a plant are to get nutrions from the soil and water in the soil and also to give the plant a way to stay in the ground and upright not falling over with a sudden gust of wind. Hope this helped. :)
Their job is to anchor the plant in the ground firmly and absord mineral nutrients from the soil around the plant.
Just water, actually... the seed itself already has nutrients that will last for about a week. THEN it will need nutrients, water, and soil (or rocks, or some other stabilizer for the root system).
The two types of layering are air layering and soil layering. Air layering involves rooting a stem while still attached to the parent plant, while soil layering involves burying a stem partially in soil to encourage root growth.
