Roots Review the root is the organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil. Roots can also be aerial or aerating, that is, growing up above the ground or especially above water.
Roots Review A root's four major functions are : 1) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients 2) anchoring of the plant body to the ground, and supporting it 3) storage of food and nutrients 4) vegetative reproduction and competition with other plants.

Types of Roots There are two types of roots : Tap root 2. Adventitious root 1.
Tap root �A taproot is a large, central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally. Typically a taproot is somewhat straight and very thick, is tapering in shape, and grows directly downward.
Tap root The shape of taproots can vary but the typical shapes include: Conical root 2. Fusiform root 3. Napiform root 1.
Tap root 1. Conical root - this type of root tuber is conical in shape, i. e. widest at the top and tapering steadily towards the bottom: e. g. carrot.
Tap root 2. Fusiform root - this root is widest in the middle and tapers towards the top and the bottom: e. g. radish.
Tap root 3. Napiform root - the root has a top-like appearance. It is very broad at the top and tapers suddenly like a tail at the bottom: e. g. turnip.

Adventitious Root �Roots that grow from any part of plant other than the radicle or its branches are called adventitious roots (L. adventitious— extraordinary).
Adventitious Root �In some plants roots start from the stem above the soil, that is, above the collar, and afterwards go down into the earth. � Adventitious roots grow above the collar. �For example, mangrove, bamboo, maize and rice all have adventitious roots.
Adventitious Root �A rice plant • Soil put around the collar helps adventitious roots to grow; the plant is earthed up. A plant with roots on the stems has adventitious roots.
