A. change energy from the Sun into food
This option does not describe a function of a plant's root system. The process of changing energy from the Sun into food is primarily the role of the leaves through photosynthesis, not the roots. Roots are responsible for anchoring the plant, absorbing water and nutrients, and storing water and nutrients.
