To explain:
The mineral and water are taken up by roots.
Introduction:
Root is the main part of the vascular plant which is buried under the soil. It forms the root system of plants. Its main function is the absorption of water and dissolved minerals from the soil. It provides support to plant’s body and also involves food and nutrient storage.
To determine:
The function of the Casparian strip in mineral and water uptake.
Introduction:
Plants are defined as the autotrophic eukaryotes as they have a complex cell with a nucleus. They are called autotrophs because they are able to synthesize their own food by the process of photosynthesis.
To describe:
Root pressure.

To explain:
The importance of mycorrhizae and nitrogen-fixing bacteria in plant nutrition.
Introduction:
