Although moss does not have a true root system, it does have growths called rhizoids, which are root-like. These growths anchor moss to soil, or other surfaces. Moss draws moisture from the air.

What holds in the soil and collects water and minerals from the soil?

Roots of plants hold in the soil and collect water and minerals from the soil through a process called root absorption. The root system of plants helps to anchor the plant in the soil and absorb essential nutrients for growth and development.


What do plants absorb from the soil?

Plants absorb water, minerals (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), and other essential nutrients from the soil through their roots. These nutrients are necessary for the plant's growth and development.


What part of plants absorb water and minerals?

The roots of plants are responsible for absorbing water and minerals from the soil. This process occurs through root hairs, which increase the surface area available for absorption. Water and minerals are then transported through the plant's vascular system to other parts of the plant.


What gets water and minerals from soil?

Roots of plants absorb water and minerals from the soil through a process called osmosis. This allows plants to take up essential nutrients needed for growth and function. Water and minerals are then transported through the plant's vascular system to different parts of the plant.


How do vascular plants get the water and minerals that they need to live and grow?

Vascular plants absorb water and minerals through their roots from the soil. The root system of a plant has specialized structures, such as root hairs and root cells, that help facilitate this process by increasing surface area for absorption. Once absorbed, the water and minerals are transported through the plant's vascular system to other parts of the plant for growth and metabolic processes.
