Beutiful Mono's (corn) roots

There are four types of roots in a plant
  • Adeventituous root- Adventituous roots are roots that grow in abnormal locations such as from a stem.
  • Tap root- A tap root is a vertical downword root that has outgrowths of other roots on it
  • Primary root- Are the first root produced by a germinating seed
  • Lateral root- Spawn from the primary root to anchor the plant
Roots have little hairs at the end called root hairs. These function as ways for the plant to bring in nutrients and water to promote growth.
