A plant's roots serve many functions, including absorbing nutrients and water, providing anchorage, and acting as a food storage site. A special type of root known as a prop root also plays an important role in providing extra structural support to certain plants. Some functions of prop root are:

  1. Prop roots are also referred to as pillar roots. These are adventitious roots that grow from trees' large horizontal branches, hang downwards, and eventually enter the soil.
  2. This gives them the appearance of pillars. Plants with prop roots include Ficus benghalensis (Banyan tree), Rubber plant, Corn, and others.
  3. Large woody prop roots develop from adventitious roots on horizontal branches in many tropical rainforest trees, providing additional anchorage and support.
