Name the part of the plant which absorbs nutrients from the soil

The correct answer is: Root

• Vegetable plants transpire water from their leaves, creating suction on the water at the root surface that draws the nutritious surface soil solution toward the plant roots.
• This process of mass flow caused by leaf transpiration explains how most plant nutrients (98 percent) move from the soil to the root surface.
• Most nutrients are absorbed through root hairs near the very tip of the roots. Root hairs are ultra-fine roots that have a large surface area, allowing them to absorb even more water. The majority of plants also partner with different fungi to absorb even more nutrients from the water in the soil.
