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:
- 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.
- This gives them the appearance of pillars. Plants with prop roots include Ficus benghalensis (Banyan tree), Rubber plant, Corn, and others.
- Large woody prop roots develop from adventitious roots on horizontal branches in many tropical rainforest trees, providing additional anchorage and support.
