The correct answer is Option 1 i.e Supply of food to plant parts. ​​​

The primary role of a plant's root system is not to give nourishment to plant components.

The following tasks are carried out by roots:

  • They firmly moor the plant.
  • They support the storage of nutrients and food.
  • Water and minerals are delivered to the plant by the roots.
