many parts of plants are common foods we eat. for example, a carrot is a food you may eat in your salad or as a snack. when a carrot plant grows, the orange portion grows into the ground.
select the statement(s) that accurately describes the function of the orange part of the carrot plant that grows underground.
aids in plant reproduction by pollinators
makes food for the plant through photosynthesis
takes in nutrients from the soil
absorbs water from the soil
anchors plant to the ground

Explanation:

The orange part of the carrot plant that grows underground is a root. Roots do not aid in plant reproduction by pollinators (that's the role of flowers). Roots do not make food for the plant through photosynthesis (that's the role of leaves). However, roots do take in nutrients from the soil, absorb water from the soil, and anchor the plant to the ground.

Answer:

takes in nutrients from the soil, absorbs water from the soil, anchors plant to the ground.
