    1. The document describes the morphology and structure of plant roots. It discusses two main types of root systems: taproot systems and fibrous root systems. 2. Taproot systems have a main root that grows downward and may branch out into smaller roots, forming a taproot. Fibrous root systems form many roughly equal-sized roots that emerge from the stem base like fibers. 3. The document also covers root functions, structures, and modifications like tuberous roots, adventitious roots, and other specialized root structures.

    2 Kinds
    (Group 1)
    Root is the part of a plant which attaches it to the ground If the radicle grow continuously into roots that branch
    and to support the plant, typically underground, conveying out into smaller roots. The root derived from the
    water and nutrient to the rest of the plant via numerous radicula is called the tap root.
    branches and fibers.
    FIBROUS ROOT SYSTEM

    CHARACTERISTIC OF ROOT
    1. Geotropic and hydrotropic
    2. Doesn’t have a node
    3. The color isn’t green If the radicle in later development die or are followed by
    4. It has a pointy shape some roughly equally large roots and all emerge from
    5. Usually inside the ground the base of the stem and the shape like fibers.
    6. The tip of root continuous to grow

    MODIFICATION
    FUNCTION OF ROOT
    1. Strengthen the plant 1. Taproot modification
    2. Absorbing water and soluble food stuffs in 2. Fibrous root modification
    water from the ground 3. Adventitious root modification (root
    3. Transport water and nutrient to the bodies of that arises from any point other
    plant than the radicle or the root axis)
    4. In some plant it has function to hoard food

    3 D. Moniliform or Beaded
    STRUCTURE OF ROOT roots
     COLLUM : part of roots that connect to the base stem A. Tuberous root
     APEX RADICIS : the youngest part of the roots
     CORPUS RADICIS : the part that lies between collum 1 2
    and apex radicis
    Rose moss (Portulaca
     RADIX LATERALIS : It doesn’t directly connect to the
    3. Filiformis . Eg : Kratok A. Composed of tiny C. Big as arm grandiflora)
    base stems but by the roots (root branches) Sweet potato (Ipomoea
    E. Palmate tuberous roots
     FIBRILLA RADICALIS : delicate root branches (Phaseolus lunatus L.) fibers batata)
     PILUS RADICALIS : to expand the absorption field and Love-vine (Cassytha B. Fasciculated root
     CALYPTRA : located at the root tips to protect root filiformis)
    when it expands the absorption area
    (Pandanus
    (Oryza sativa L.) tectorius) Orchid (Orchis mascula)
    B. Stiff, hard, and big F. Annulated roots
    A. Taproot that has little or no branching : Menow weed (Ruellia)
    1. Fusiformis . Eg : Beta vulgaris 2. Napiformis . Eg : B. Branched tap roots (ramosus) : as mine C. Nodulose root
    Pachyrhizus erosus

    Ipecac (Cephaelis
    (Cocos nucifera L.) ipecacuanha)
    Arrowroot (Maranta sp.)
