All seed plants have roots. Which of the following does NOT describe a function of a plant's root system?

Question

A.
change energy from the Sun into food
B.
anchor the plant to the ground
C.
absorb water and nutrients from the soil
D.
store water and nutrients

Answer 1

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.
