Absorbs water and minerals
Store food eg carrot

Question 12

What are the zones in the root

Answer 12

Zone of protection
Meristematic zone
Zone of elongation
Zone of differentiation

Question 13

Zone of protection

Answer 13

Root caps protect the root cells as they grow

Question 14

Meristematic zone

Answer 14

Zone allows the root to grow by producing new cells

Meristems are found in the shoot top and root tip
