To adapt to the environment they are in.Example:Some cacti have their roots deep in the ground, to get groundwater.Some cacti have their roots spread out, to catch rainwater. Their roots also secrete an acid that makes it difficult for other plants (including other cacti) to grow on those roots. This limits the competition for water.

Yes. Carrots are in the category known as root vegetables. they are called taproots. "dont ask me why"
No, they receive water and nutrients from the soil, but the chlorophyl/chloroplasts obtain sunlight and use water to create food for a plant. But som of them are modified to use sunlight to prepare food
Cactus plants hold water temporarily in their roots. They also hold it temporarily on their modified leaves. They hold it permanently in their stems.
