ROOT MODIFICATION - DEFINITION

concept

Roots are modified for support, storage of food, respiration.

For support: Prop roots in banyan tree, stilt roots in maize and sugarcane.

For respiration: Pneumatophores in Rhizophora (mangrove).

For storage of food: Fusiform (radish), Napiform (turnip), Conical (carrot).

MODIFICATIONS OF ROOTS - DEFINITION

Roots are the part of the plant which is mainly used for support and anchorage of plants.

Some of the roots like carrot and radish are modified to perform a special function like storage of food. The food stored in the roots is utilized during unfavorable conditions.

Roots like Rhizophora, are modified for gaseous exchange. They have minute pores which help to exchange gases.

Stilt roots provide mechanical support to the plant e.g., sugarcane.

Climbing roots provide aerial support to the plant e.g., vanilla.

Clinging roots provide mechanical support to the plants e.g., orchids.

Sucking roots helps to withdraw nutrition from other parts of the plant e.g., cuscuta.

Floating roots help the aquatic plants to store air e.g., water lily.

Assimilatory roots perform photosynthesis e.g., trapa.
