The root of a radish swells to store nutrients and water, allowing the plant to survive harsh conditions and support future growth. This swelling is a response to its role as a storage organ for energy in the form of carbohydrates. In contrast, rice is primarily a seed, which does not need to swell in the same way since it relies on stored energy within its endosperm for germination and growth. Thus, the differing structures and functions of these plant parts explain the variation in their physical characteristics.
