What are the various functions of the roots?
Plants develop from seeds or spores. With maximum plants, the roots develop first. They keep the plant down and maintain it steady. They additionally take in water and minerals from the soil and delivery them up so the plant can produce food. In a few plants, like the banyan, aerial roots (roots withinside the air) develop down from the branches to keep the plant up. They develop thickly and seem like a stem or a trunk.
