Biology Chapter 1: Introduction to Root System

What is the primary function of the root system in a plant?

To provide structural support for the plant's stems and leaves
To absorb and transport nutrients from the soil (correct)
To regulate the plant's water loss through transpiration
To store excess energy produced by photosynthesis

Which part of the root system is responsible for absorbing water and minerals from the soil?

Stem
Lateral roots
Root hairs (correct)
Taproot

What is the primary difference between a taproot and a lateral root?

Taproots are thicker, while lateral roots are thinner
Taproots are found in monocots, while lateral roots are found in dicots
Taproots grow faster, while lateral roots grow slower
Taproots grow deeper, while lateral roots grow wider (correct)
