Types of roots (4)
Fibrous
Dominants tap root
Adventitious roots
Tuberous roots
-Tap roots used to absorb water deep in soil
-Some tap roots used to store carbohydrates (e.g. carrots)
Dominant tap root
Swollen structure on fibrous root used to store
carbohydrates (e.g. sweet potato)
– Tuberous roots
multibranched roots (e.g. lettuce)
– Fibrous
-root-like structures arising from stems or leaves
-e.g. prop roots (corn) and holdfasts
Adventitious roots
-Above-ground organs. (usually)
-Support leaves and fruits.
-Conduct water and sugars
throughout plant.
