To examine: Whether the given statement “Lateral roots form at nodes on roots” is true or false.
Concept introduction: Lateral root helps to anchor the plant securely to the soil. This root contributes to the water uptake and facilitates the extraction of nutrients required for the growth and development of the plant. The plant hormone such as auxin helps to improve the lateral root development.
