Question

what part of a vasoular plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil? roots stems leaves

Explanation:

In vascular plants, roots are the part that extends into the soil. They have structures like root hairs which increase the surface area for absorption. Through processes like osmosis (for water) and active/passive transport (for nutrients), roots take in water and nutrients from the soil. Stems mainly function in transporting water (from roots to other parts) and nutrients (both up - and down - the plant) and providing structural support. Leaves are the site of photosynthesis where they use light energy, carbon dioxide (from the air), and water (transported from roots) to produce food (glucose) for the plant.

Roots
