The functions of a ROOT system include all of the following EXCEPT:
AAbsorption of water and minerals from the soil
BPRODUCTION OF FLOWERS for sexual reproduction
CProviding anchorage to plant parts
DStorage of reserve food material
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. PRODUCTION OF FLOWERS for sexual reproduction
Roots: absorb water/minerals, anchor the plant, store food (e.g. carrot, beetroot — modified roots) and synthesise plant growth regulators. Flowers are produced by the SHOOT system, never by roots.
