Q

Explained in short, by producing genetically engineered plants with additional subarine in their roots could reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide.

A

Genetically engineered plants with additional suberin in their roots could help reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide because suberin is a carbon-rich compound that helps store carbon in the soil, preventing it from being released as CO₂ into the atmosphere and thus helping to mitigate global warming.
