Roots are typically the underground part of a plant that absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. They also serve to anchor the plant in place. Roots can vary greatly in size, shape, and structure, depending on the type of plant and the environment in which it grows. In addition to providing a means of nutrient uptake, roots also store food and support vegetative reproduction in certain species.
