Study Notes
Root Development
- The quiescent center, where initial cells divide and produce all other cells of the root, is located at the center of the root apical meristem.
- The geotropic growth of the root is controlled by the elongation zone.
- The rhizodermis tissue, where root hairs develop and water and nutrients are absorbed, forms in the zone of maturation.
- Cells start to acquire secondary walls and lateral roots develop in the zone of differentiation.
- Primary growth through apical meristem tissue is found in the zone of cell division.
Plant Characteristics
- Fleshy fruits, such as apples and bananas, protect their seeds within their body.
- Dicotyledonous plants, such as beans and peas, have two seed leaves.
- Monosulcate pollen grains have three furrows or pores.
- Monocotyledonous plants, such as grasses and lilies, have flower parts in multiples of three.
- Monocotyledonous plants also have stem vascular bundles scattered throughout the stem.

Description
Test your knowledge on the different horizontal layers or zones of plant roots, including the root cap, division zone, elongation zone, absorption zone, and maturation zone. Understand the functions of each zone and their role in root growth and development.
