Answer:
Roots help plants absorb the nutrients and water they need for healthy growth. The deeper and wider they go, the more benefits they provide to soil fertility and stable carbon storage in soils.
Explanation:
Types of roots:
Taproots - Taproots have a main central root upon which, small, lateral roots called root hairs are attached. Mustard, carrot, beetroot, parsley, china rose and all dicotyledons are examples of taproot systems.
Fibrous Roots - Fibrous roots, on the other hand, are bushy roots in which thin, moderately branching roots grow from the stem. Rice, wheat, maize, marigold, banana and all monocotyledons are some examples of the fibrous root system.
Roots perform the following functions:
- Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
- They anchor the plant firmly.
- They help in storing food and nutrients.
- Roots transport water and minerals to the plant.
