In one or 2,sentences identify the purpose of the roots in a plant and how a disease that harms the roots of a flowering plant would affect the plant ability to survive

A disease that harms the roots of a flowering plant can severely impact the plant's ability to take up water and nutrients, leading to stunted or weakened growth, wilting, and ultimately, the plant may struggle to survive.
