That would be the roots. Major functions are the absorption of water and nutrients and for anchoring the plant to the ground. The outer surface of the primary root is called the epidermis. The process in which water is absorbed into the epidermal cells is called osmosis.

The roots of a plant are responsible for taking in water and nutrients from the soil. They have specialized structures called root hairs that increase surface area for absorption. Water moves up through the plant to the leaves through a system of vessels called xylem.
