Roots are anchored by a type of tissue called the root cap, which is located at the tip of the root. The root cap consists of specialized cells that protect the growing tip as it pushes through the soil. Additionally, the root's dermal tissue, particularly the epidermis, aids in anchoring by forming a protective barrier and facilitating the absorption of water and nutrients. Together, these tissues help stabilize the plant and promote growth.
Roots in general provide anchorage to the plants
The roots of plants.
Roots
Phloem and xylem tissue carries material from a plant's roots to its leaves.

The development of a cuticle, stomata, and roots allowed plants to live successfully on land. The cuticle prevents water loss, stomata regulate gas exchange, and roots provide anchorage and access to water and nutrients from the soil.
rhizoids
Examples of adventitious roots include prop roots of corn, aerial roots of ivy, pneumatophores of mangroves, and stilt roots of pandanus. These roots develop from stems, branches, or even leaves of the plant, providing additional support, anchorage, or access to oxygen.
In search of moisture and minerals and also for better anchorage of the plant.
The tissue responsible for transporting materials from the roots to the rest of the plant is called xylem. Xylem is a type of vascular tissue that primarily transports water and minerals absorbed by the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant.
Fibrous roots: These roots are thin and highly branched, providing stability and anchorage to the plant. They also help in absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. Taproots: Taproots are thick and have a main central root that grows deep into the soil, providing strong anchorage for the plant. They can store nutrients and water, enabling the plant to survive in harsh conditions. Adventitious roots: These roots can develop from any part of the plant other than the radicle, providing additional support, anchorage, and nutrient absorption. They can grow from stems, leaves, or even from the base of the plant.
