Which of the following statements is false?
A) Roots depend upon sugars produced in photosynthetic organs such as leaves.
B) The shoot system of a plant consists of the stems, leaves, and adaptations for reproduction.
C) Plant root hairs help to absorb carbon dioxide from the soil. D) Stems and leaves depend on the water and minerals absorbed by the roots.

Plant root hairs help to absorb carbon dioxide from the soil.

Explanation:

In a plant, the root absorbs water nutrients and mineral salts from the soil and transports them upwards to other parts of a plant through the xylem and phloem vessels.

The roots do not absorb carbon dioxide since carbon dioxide is found in air and the roots are buried beneath the soil surface. The leaves absorb carbon dioxide through openings in leaves called stomata.

Hence the answer.
