If storage of food is a function of root then why there is root modification called storage roots?

What is difference between storage roots and normal roots?

Answer 1

Because the main function of the modified root is to store food.

The roots undergo modifications in order to carry out various tasks. One of the most significant modifications is the ability to store food for later use. The roots undergo modifications in order to change their shape during the food storage process, hence the term "storage roots."

While the primary purpose of roots is to anchor plants and absorb water and nutrients, some plants, like beets, carrots, and sweet potatoes, have modified roots that have evolved specifically to store large amounts of food reserves, like starch in the form of carbohydrates. This adaptation allows the plant to survive adverse conditions, like drought or winter, by providing a readily available source of nourishment.
