More About Roots(Plant System)

Hi Miss Coelho,

I am going to share with you more about roots,
Roots are very important to plants,it absorbs water and mineral salts for the the plant.
It also hold the plant firmly to the ground so that the plant would not collapse.There are many different types of roots for example:Breathing Roots,Tap Roots,Fibrous Roots,Tubercular,Cauline.
Breathing Roots:The roots are hanging.
Tap Roots:Roots that grow vertically into the earth.
Fibrous Roots:Roots that formed in bundles where it is not possible to determine the primary roots.
Tubercular:Roots in a form of a tubercle.
Cauline:Roots that shoot from the stem.

If you want more information please go to wikipedia
