How would shoot and root growth be affected by a mutation that caused plants to lose the ability to polymerize glucose into starch granules?

Lateral branch shoots would grow more upright and be less able to maintain a horizontal orientation.
Lateral branch roots fully embedded in soil would grow randomly upward and downward.

A mutation is a change in an organism's DNA sequence. Mutations can occur as a result of errors in DNA replication during cell division, mutagen exposure, or viral infection.
Germline mutations (those that occur in eggs and sperm) can be passed down to offspring, whereas somatic mutations (those that occur in body cells) cannot.
Many Hollywood movies have been inspired by mutation, but it is really just a simple process of a mistake occurring in a DNA sequence as it is copied.
Some of that is just background noise caused by the fact that DNA copying is imperfect, which we should be thankful for because evolution would be impossible without it.
