Roots


Plant roots anchor the soil, where they absorb water and dissolved mineral nutrients. This is when these substances are transported from the point of view of absorption (root tip) arm. In many species, the roots are food storage organs. Some are medicinal and nutritional value, others are poisonous. Primary roots of systems evolve in plants is the embryonic root, or dominant taproot group of fibrous roots. Root of the random system to develop plant part other than the root, as the body, which sends its roots produce new plants. Systems typically random fiber roots. Both the primary and the roots may be occasional fleshy parts, which are sources of food and medicine.




The primary root system

A pivot is a dominant root, with many small secondary roots and rootlets branching from it. The dividing line between the root and the stem is called "collar.At distal roots or other cover, a shield of new shoots from the tip of the root contact with the ground through which the root growth. Behind the tip are lines of thread-like root hairs. That the "pump" water for possible use throughout the plant.



Taproot to store some food has long been important in human nutrition. The examples are carrots, radishes and parsnips.

The primary roots can develop in a group of fibrous roots, while the main root of plants. Cereals, grains and herbs are examples of plants with fibrous roots. The erosion resistant grass in a healthy lawn grass is a web of fibrous roots, usually by underground stems called rhizomes as.


Adventitious Root Systems


Many herbs are at ground stems that send down fibrous adventitious roots on a cluster characterized by nodes; new shoots from these clusters. Adventitious roots also grow on underground stems.
