The underground part of a plant, responsible for anchoring the plant, absorbing water and minerals, and sometimes storing food.

The above-ground parts of a plant, including stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds.

The main root that grows directly from the radicle (embryonic root) of a plant.

Roots that branch off from the primary root.

Roots that develop from a part of the plant other than the radicle.

A root system with a prominent primary root (tap root) that gives rise to lateral roots. Typically found in dicots.

The role of roots in holding a plant firmly in place.

The process where roots take in water and minerals from the soil.

The central cylinder of a monocot root, with xylem and phloem arranged around the pith.

A root system with numerous, slender, similar-sized roots that spread horizontally, common in monocots like grasses.

Protects the root tip, lubricates the soil during root growth, and helps roots grow downwards toward gravity.

The central cylinder of a dicot root, with xylem forming a central solid mass (protostele).

Region of actively dividing cells at the root tip responsible for primary growth.

A layer of cells in dicot roots that produces secondary xylem and phloem.

Three important parts of the apical meristem that give rise to dermal, ground, and vascular tissues in young roots.

Arrangement of vascular tissues in the stele of monocot roots.

The area where cells increase in length, contributing to root growth.

Arrangement of vascular tissues in the stele of dicot roots, xylem in the center.

Area where cells mature and specialize to form different root tissues. Root hairs are present here.

Roots that grow above the water, often containing specialized breathing cells (pneumatophores).

Increase the surface area of the root, promoting more efficient water and mineral absorption.

Roots that shorten, pulling the plant deeper into the soil.

Large, above-ground roots acting to support the trunk, mostly in large plants.

A band of waterproof material (suberin) in the endodermis that regulates the movement of water into the vascular cylinder.
