In one or two sentences, explain how a disease that harms the roots of a flowering plant would affect the plant’s ability to survive. (2 points)

This is for the writing question not the multiple choice ones

It seems obvious to me that a plant that feeds through its roots must get food or it can't live.

would you tell that to a teacher exactly like that though?

If a plants roots are damaged the plant will not surivive for long. The plant must have roots to eat and drink in order to survive.

DO NOT head on copy. Instead rephrase these sentences.

No I would not. By obvious I was trying to tell you that you should know that was the answer and to use that knowledge to write what was happening in two or three sentences. If humans can't eat they die. If plants can't eat they die.

Well, imagine if the roots of a flowering plant were infected with a disease - it would be like having a bad case of plant foot fungus, making it harder for the plant to take in nutrients and water, leading to a weak and withering existence.

A disease that harms the roots of a flowering plant would negatively impact the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, leading to stunted growth, wilting, and eventually, the plant's death if left untreated.
