The structure identified as B, which is the stem, primarily has the function of supporting the plant. While stems also play a role in transporting nutrients and water between the roots and leaves, as well as supporting the leaves for optimal light exposure, the most direct and primary function of the stem itself is to support the plant. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**It supports the plant.**
**It supports the plant.**
