Why is the prairie partly underground?

Prairies can have deep roots, but they are not underground. The depth of roots in prairies can help the plants access water and nutrients from the soil, support the plants during droughts, and increase soil stability. The roots also store energy reserves for the plants.


How do roots help plants meet their needs?

Roots help plants absorb water and nutrients from the soil, providing essential resources for growth and development.

What happens to the sugar in plants?

Sugar in small quantities will actually help a plant grow, however in excess or over too long a period it can result in the death of the plant. Excess sugar in the soil can change the water potential around the roots which causes osmosis to stop functioning properly. It can also result in the buildup of bacterial colonies around the roots of plants as sugar is a good medium for bacterail growth.
