All Plants do have roots to absorb water and minerals from the soil.This water and minerals is used by the leaves to prepare food by the process of photosynthesis.All higher plants like Angiosperms and Gymnosperms have roots.But the lower plants such as Bryophytes and Pteridophytes have special structures called Rhizoids from which they absorb water and minerals.Did u know the its the root which helps the plant to fix tightly in the soil.Otherwise the plant would have collapsed.The roots are like hearts of the plants.Without a root a plant cannot survive.

Yes , plants have roots.
In vascular plants, the root is that organ of a plant body that typically lies below the surface of the soil (compare with stem). However, this is not always the case, since a root can also be aerial (that is, growing above the ground) or aerating (that is, growing up above the ground or especially above water). On the other hand, a stem normally occurring below ground is not exceptional either (see rhizome). So, it is better to define root as a part of a plant body that bears no leaves, and therefore also lacks nodes. There are also important internal structural differences between stems and roots. The two major functions of roots are 1) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients and 2) anchoring the plant body to the ground. Roots also function in cytokinin synthesis, which supplies some of shoot needs. They often function in storage of food.

Yes, they do. Roots are used to find water, build stability in the soil and to look for new places to grow sometimes. Yes plants have roots.
