Answer: Phosphorus (P)

Explanation: Phosphorus is one of the important macronutrients of plants which promotes the plant root growth.

Phosphorus in good amount would lead to -

• Extensive roots

• Fewer shoots

• Stunted growth

Whereas if the plant deficits Phosphorus then it would lead to

• Poor root growth

• Few flowers or aborted flowers

• No fruits
