The roots of a plant take up water and nutrients from the soil. They also anchor the plant to the ground and keep it steady. The stem carries water and nutrients to different parts of the plant.

Roots. Plants have specialized organs that help them survive and reproduce in a great diversity of habitats. Major organs of most plants include roots, stems, and leaves. Roots are important organs in all vascular plants. Most vascular plants have two types of roots: primary roots that grow downward and secondary roots that branch out to the side.
Roots- The part of a plant that anchors it in the soil is called the root. Roots take in water and nutrients for the plant. Function- The task that something has is its function. Absorb- To absorb is to soak something up. Nutrient- A nutrient is any substance that plants or animals need in order to live or grow.

A plant’s root system can be either fibrous or have a distinct tap root. Many dicot plants have a main root known as the tap root which has many lateral roots growing from it. By having a thick tap root that grows deep into the soil, the plant gains extra anchorage to the ground. Some plants species have extra thick tap roots such as carrots and pa...
Plant roots are important for securing the plant to the soil but the majority of nutrient uptake occurs near the tip of the root. Here a large number of root hairs grow; very fine roots with large surface area to volume ratio. By having a large surface area and low volume it increases the efficiency of absorption of minerals and water.
A common feature of almost all root systems is what is known as mycorrhizae. A mycorrhizae is a relationship between the roots of a plant and fungi where both species usually benefit. The plant supplies the fungi with a constant source of sugars and the superior absorption abilities of the fungi help to provide the plant with an increased supply of...
It is common knowledge that roots grow below ground, but in certain cases, plants will grow roots above ground from stems and even leaves. Plant roots such as these are labelled adventitious, a term used to describe a structure that grows in a strange place. The banyan tree is a great example of a species with adventitious roots, which have a large...
The root system refers to the ramose structures that exist subterranean or superterranean to the earth surface. A root consists of the hard root cap, primary root meristem and root hairs. The growth of the root system depends upon the soil composition, soil type, type of plant species and growth conditions. Roots are complex structures whose ...
Roots. The general perception is that roots are the parts of the plant that are found in the soil. While this is typically true, there are exceptions, just as there are with the notion that all shoots are above ground. To recognize roots, we’ll look at more than whether or not they are in the soil. Types of plant roots.
