The 'Roots'.....

Normally,people will wonder what is the use of roots.When there is a landslide,it is because there is not much roots.Roots help to support the plants AND support the ground.In my experience,there was a fallen tree near a construction site.My mother explained that it is because there are not much roots.When there is construction going on ,near the trees,they will cut the roots first.Roots also suck in minerals to transport to the stems,then to other parts of the plants.It amazes me when I learnt roots play an important part for the ground AND the plants.It is my pleasure to share with you(the class and Miss Coelho)things...:)

Roots By John Paul

Roots hold the plant from fallng and also help to absorb the water. The roots hold the plant firmly to the ground. Some plants have strong roots and some plants have weak roots.For water plants, you can push them around easily becaues their roots are not on the ground.their roots just take in(absorb)water.Tunips, carrots and sweet potatos are roots too!Althou most plants have roots in the ground, some roots hang in the air!There is also a kind of root called breathing roots!They stick out of the ground!You can find them at mangroves!

facts about roots

Hi everyone, my name is weijie and i am going to tell you more about roots.
Roots is part of a plant system that absorbs water and minerals up the stem to the leaves to make food for the plant. The roots also holds the plant upride for supporting.The roots are overlooked, probably because they are less visible than the rest of the plant. However, it's important to understand plant root systems because they have a pronounced effect on a plant's size and vigor, method of propagation, adaptation to soil types, and response to cultural practices and irrigation.
Roots typically originate from the lower portion of a plant or cutting. They have a root cap, but lack nodes and never bear leaves or flowers directly. Their principal functions are to absorb nutrients and moisture, anchor the plant in the soil, support the stem, and store food. In some plants, they can be used for propagation.
