Plant root cells also need oxygen to generate energy. So roots take up air from:

Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (A) air space between soil particles

• Plant roots take up oxygen from the air spaces between soil particles.
• These air spaces contain oxygen that is necessary for cellular respiration in the root cells, enabling them to generate energy.
• The oxygen from the soil air is absorbed through tiny pores in the root called root hairs.

Other option Explanation:

• Cytoplasm: Oxygen is used within the cytoplasm, but not absorbed from it.
• Stomata: Found on leaves, not roots, and responsible for gas exchange in aerial parts.
• Water: Water provides nutrients but not the primary source of oxygen for root respiration.
