Does it supply a plant with plenty of water? (7)
I believe the answer is:
taproot
'does it supply a plant with plenty' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'of water?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'water?' could be 'tap' (tap water is a kind of water) and 'tap' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for taproot that I've seen before include "infrastructure" , "Main underground part of plant" , "Plant's main source of nourishment" , "Part of plant growing down vertically" , "Main part of plant in earth" .)
