3. ROOTS
Roots can be divided into different types as follows:
a)
Tap root
Thick main root (primary from the embryo) grows straight downwards and from
it, thinner branch roots arise
b)
Fibrous root
Large number of roots of similar size developing from stem nodes
C)
Adventitious root
Grows from stem or leaf
Apart from their functions for support and food adsorption, roots are adapted for other
special functions as follows:
a)
Pneumatophore root
Breathing root that facilitates the exchange of gases, and grows upwards from
underground
b)
Prop root
Grows from the above ground stem into the soil, usually for mechanical
support
