The first three responses are correct, while the last response is not accurate. Having sugar in the roots helps plants store energy, allowing them to survive through periods of low light or nutrient availability. It also enables the plant to produce new plants through vegetative reproduction. The presence of sugar in the roots does not attract animals to eat them, as the role of the sugar is to benefit the plant's own survival and reproduction.
