Hint: Plants are multicellular species that are mostly photosynthetic eukaryotes in the Plantae kingdom. Plants were traditionally classified as one of two kingdoms, one of which included all non-animal living creatures, and the other of which included algae and fungi. Fungi and some algae, as well as prokaryotes, are currently excluded from all existing descriptions of Plantae (the archaea and bacteria).

Complete answer:
The immediate product of photosynthesis is glucose and this statement is True.
Option A: Photosynthesis is the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into sugars by plants using light energy. Photosynthesis produces sugars that can be processed, transported across the tree, and converted into energy to fuel all cellular processes. As glucose (sugar formed during photosynthesis) and oxygen combine to provide usable cellular energy, this is called respiration. This energy is used to power cellular growth as well as all other functions. As a result of respiration, carbon dioxide and water are generated.
All living cells, including leaves and roots, are capable of respiration. Since respiration does not require light energy, it can be done at any time of day or night. Respiration, on the other hand, necessitates oxygen, which may be a challenge for roots that are overwatered or in soils with low drainage. When roots are submerged for an extended amount of time, they are unable to absorb oxygen and convert glucose in order to sustain cell metabolic processes.
Hence, option A is correct.
Option B: Therefore, the immediate product of photosynthesis is glucose and that is not wrong.
So, option B is incorrect.

Option A is correct that the given statement is true.

Note:
Photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts resulting from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria provides the majority of the energy for green plants. Chlorophylls a and b, which give them their green color, are found in their chloroplasts. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic, meaning they lack the ability to produce chlorophyll or photosynthesize but can produce flowers, fruits, and seeds. Sexual reproduction and generational alternation are common in plants; though asexual reproduction is also common.
