Modified root of a plant

Carrots are an example of a modified root of a plant because they grow underground. They do this in order to protect themselves from being eaten by animals and to store nutrients and water away from the sun. By having the stem above ground, the plant is still able to go through photosynthesis and water. These storage roots are very beneficial during a time of drought or during times when there is not much sun.
