Mode of nutrition in green plants?

Question

What genus of flowering plants, native to an area from Brazil to Peru to southern Argentina discovered in 1768 by French botanist Philibert Commerçon, is a thorny, woody vine reaching from 1 to 12 metres tall by growing over other plants with hooked thorns tipped with a black, waxy substance?

Answer 1

Plants absorb nutrients and water through their roots.
Photosynthesis, the process by which plants create their fuel occurs in the leaves.

So modes of the nutrition for the plants are root and its leaves.
