The roots are the organ
responsible for absorbing
water, anchoring the plant
and may also store food.
Roots adaptations often
correspond to soil type and
plant needs.

A taproot is a large, main
root which is usually joined
to many secondary roots.
The taproot provides a
strong anchor and allows
the plant to reach water far
below the earth’s surface.
Some taproots also store
food, such as the carrot.
