The correct answer is: The sugar can help the plant survive by storing energy.
Plants produce sugar through photosynthesis, which is the process of converting sunlight into energy. This sugar is then transported and stored in various parts of the plant, including the roots. By storing sugar in their roots, plants are able to have a readily available energy source at times when sunlight is limited, such as during winter or in shady environments. This stored energy can be used for growth, reproduction, and other essential life processes, helping the plant to survive in challenging conditions.
