ROOTS
fleshy taproot
Are the plant's main site of
carbohydrate storage during winter.
vines
have modified roots that act as holdfasts on
rock or brick.
Parasitic flowering plants
use modified roots to get
nutrients and water from host plants.
radicle
may develop into thick
taproot with thinner branch
roots
Embryonic roots
A single large taproot that
develops from the radicle
Fibrous root
A mass of many similarly sized
roots
, • Most monocots and some
eudicots have this root system
Adventitious roots
They do not arise in "pre-
existing roots" of from
radicle
Secondary growth
Many eudicots undergo
secondary growth.
apical meristem
protected by the root cap.
apical meristem
Roots grow from an _____________ at the tip.
root hair zone
is a region in
which many of the epidermal cells
extend out as narrow trichomes.
