Does the roots keep on growing continuously till its death ????
Answers
To start - most wood in trees is actually dead tissue. There is only a ring of living tissue that goes around the tree, just under the bark. The cells in that ring, known as the cambium, grow and reproduce, causing the tree to grow. [The leaves are also alive, but that’s a different story]. Roots are able to take up water due to the negative pressure that plants generate. This negative pressure, which “pulls” water up from the roots to the top of the plant, is caused by transpiration (the evaporation of water from the leaves), water’s cohesive properties (ability to “stick” to itself, causing the water that evaporates from the leaves to pull more water with it), and water’s adhesive properties (ability to “stick” to other molecules, like cellulose, allowing water to “climb” up the plant xylem).
To answer your question, tree roots are mostly dead to begin with, and without the tools to create negative pressure in the xylem, the roots will stop transporting water, the cambium will die, and everything will decompose in the soil with help from microorganisms. The rate of decomposition is dependent on temperature and humidity/water content in the soil. Hot + wet = faster decomposition.
pls mark it as a brainliest answer I have done very hardwork to write this answer
most probably ya...
