What is root? Write main types of roots.

$\huge \longrightarrow \text{ \pink{ANSWER}} \longleftarrow$

$\huge \underline \bold {Definition}$

• Root, in botany, that part of a vascular plant normally underground. Its primary functions are anchorage of the plant, absorption of water and dissolved minerals and conduction of these to the stem, and storage of reserve foods. The root differs from the stem mainly by lacking leaf scars and buds, having a root cap, and having branches that originate from internal tissue rather than from buds.

$\huge \underline \bold {Types \: of \: Roots}$

Plants have three types of root systems:

• 1.) taproot, with a main taproot that is larger and grows faster than the branch roots
• 2.) fibrous, with all roots about the same size.
• 3.) adventitious, roots that form on any plant part other than the roots.
• Fibrous systems are characteristic of grasses and are shallower than the taproot systems found on most eudicots and many gymnosperms.

Answer 2

Roots:

• Roots are the underground part of any vascular plant.
• Roots are mainly responsible for the purpose of anchoring plants down into the ground.
• Roots help in absorbing the essential mineral elements, nutrients, and water from the soil. It is also used to store food.
• Essentially not all plants have their roots underground some have roots above the grounds called ariel roots.

There are mainly two types of roots they are:

Tap roots

• The tap roots have a main central root upon which other smaller roots called root hairs grow.
• Taproot is a characteristic feature of dicot plants example: mustard, carrot etc.

Fibrous roots

• Fibrous roots are bushy in nature where the fine roots grow directly from the stem of the plant.
• The fibrous root is an example of monocot plants example: beans, rice, wheat etc.
