Advantage of the roots that gymnosperms have is they grow deep, allowing the plants to gather water from far below Earth's surface.

Explanation:

Roots are the most important part of a plant that provides food and nutrients to the plant from the soil and roots also tend to reduce the washing away of soil. Especially for gymnosperm, they have an extra advantage of growing deep and capturing the water from below the surface far away. Gymnosperm consists of tap root system and coralloid roots for some of special plants like Cycas plant.
