Question
Chapter 23, Problem 5WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
That why do root-bound plants present in same pot for many years eventually show signs of nutrient deficiency.
Concept introduction:
As plants grow with time, their roots are meant to spread as they mature. But the plants that are grown in restricted space like containers or pots, they gradually run out of space and become root bound. Sometimes plant’s roots try to escape out of any space or hole in pots.

If a plant can improve its ability to obtain water by growing more roots, why shouldn’t the plant always grow more roots?
Every winter, the cohesion of water molecules in xylem is interrupted by ice formation. What do trees do in the spring that compensates for this problem?*
why is pressure higher in parts of the phloem Where sugar is being loaded than in parts were sugars been removed?
