We know that in plants, whether it's bearing just leaves, flowers, or fruit, that there's going to be a few main components that make this up.
00:10
So first we're going to be discussing the functions of roots and why those are important when it comes to plants.
00:16
So we know that roots are going to be the part that are in the ground.
00:21
So you don't necessarily see these unless we were to pull out a plant, then we could see all these roots coming out of it.
00:28
This is what's in the ground and this is what's helping keep that plant anchored in.
00:32
So it's not falling over.
00:33
So the bigger the roots, the stronger that plant's going to be.
00:37
When it comes to the roots, they do a lot of the background work that's really not seen, that keep that plant functioning.
00:43
So things like absorbing water so that it can keep drinking water because we know that plants need that.
00:49
It also intakes minerals.
00:51
So anytime we put certain minerals inside that soil, it's going to be absorbing those through the roots.
00:56
It even helps produce hormones that keep the plant alive and functioning.
01:00
And it does a lot of the interaction for the plants when it comes to different things in the soil and things that it needs to absorb...
