c. U-rooting will not affect mortality if planted 2 inches deeper than they grew in the nursery.
d. None of the above.​

Answer 1

U-rooting does not affect mortality and growth at normal planting depth.

Explanation:

• Taproot is the central and dominant part of the plant from which other roots sprout in a lateral direction.
• It is the dominant part of the pants and the growth of a plant depends on its depth in the soil.
• It is very straight and thick, for plants grown under the soil the taproot should grow downward direction to hold grip.
