Select all the functions that the root of a plant has:
food storage for the plant
anchors the plant to the ground
absorb water and minerals from the soil
keeps the plant alive in difficult conditions, when the above-ground parts die
Root hairs cells are specialised cells for plant growth because
they keep growing until they reach water and nutrients
they have a large surface area to allow for greater photosynthesis
they have a large surface area for absorbing water and nutrients
they keep growing until they reach sunlight for photosynthesis
