Question

How are the roots which arise from the first few nodes of the stem
called?

Answer 1

Answer:

Some roots, called adventitious roots, arise from an organ other than the root—usually a stem, sometimes a leaf. They are especially numerous on underground stems, such as rhizomes, corms, and tubers, and make it possible to vegetatively propagate many plants from stem or leaf cuttings.

Answer 2

Such roots are known as stilt roots.

• The characteristic of grasses represents the culm, which is a stem with distinct nodes and internodes.
• The underlying negligible hubs of the stem produce the roots called as stilt
• These obliquely penetrate the favourable soil and typically provide support to the plant. Sugarcane and maze remain the most common grasses to find them.
