Question

A.
plants store food for later use.
B.
photosynthesis also takes place in plant roots.
C.
someone gives the plants food every day.
D.
plants can use heat in the ground to make food.

The correct answer is A. plants store food for later use.

When plants lose their leaves in winter, they rely on the food they have stored from photosynthesis that occurred in warmer months to survive until they can grow leaves and begin photosynthesis again in the spring.
