t hairs: What are the main functions of roots? What is stored in the roots that we eat? Where is it made?

The main functions of roots are to anchor the plant to the ground, absorb water and nutrients from the soil, and store food reserves.<br /><br />Roots store food reserves such as carbohydrates, which can be used by the plant during periods of dormancy or when the aboveground parts of the plant are not actively growing. These food reserves are made through the process of photosynthesis in the leaves, where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose. The glucose is then transported to the roots and stored as starch or other carbohydrate reserves.
