Plant Form and Function

Roots perform all of the following functions EXCEPT

• Carrying out the light reactions of photosynthesis
• Anchoring the plant in the soil
• Absorbing water and nutrients from the soil
• Storing water and minerals

• Plants must anchor themselves

• Plants cannot keep cool on their own

• Plants need heat to release their energy

• Plants use carbon dioxide to make food
