    Solution

    In plants, food stored in the roots during dormant periods is mobilized during spring to support new growth. This stored food, typically in the form of starch, is converted into sugars and transported first to the buds, which represent the initial development point for new growth. Buds contain embryonic plant parts (new leaves or flowers) that swell and grow using the energy from the stored food. Once new leaves form, they begin photosynthesizing and producing their own food, reducing the plant's dependence on stored root reserves.
