Chapter 35, Problem 8TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Root systems are of different types in plants. The differences in the types of roots depend on several factors such as environmental conditions. Roots are adapted so that they can provide better support, act as food reserves or absorb oxygen depending on the requirements of the plant.
