In one to two sentences, identify the purpose of the roots in a plant and how a disease that harms the roots of a flowering plant would affect the plant’s ability to survive. (make it like a 7th grader wrote it)

Answer 1

The roots of a plant help it stay anchored in the soil and absorb water and nutrients that are really important for growth. If a disease hurts the roots, the plant wouldn’t get enough water and nutrients, making it weak and less able to survive.
