@JohnSm To is a preposition and a versatile little word that can be used to say many things. You can use it to indicate a goal or a direction of movement, as well as a place of arrival. That’s the way you use it when you say you’re going to class tomorrow. To also plays a role when we want to indicate that a verb is an infinitive.

You’ll often use to when you want to indicate a relationship between words, relationship like possession, attachment, and addition. You get attached to people, you have things that belong to you. To is also used to indicate a range or a period of time, like when you say it will take you five to ten minutes to finish something.

Both of them are right.
study is using material to help you learn whatever you're studying

@JohnSm not sure how to explain it, it defines the action I guess?

@Satorii if ask someone on school "how do plant parts help plants grow? " and then someone answers "leaves do this, roots do that"
