Answer:

In grafting, the plant with the root system is called the root stock , and the portion of the plant with the buds is called the scion

Explanation:

Grafting is a process of “vegetative mode of propagation “ in which two parts of same or two different species of plants are joined together to make them grow as a single plant. The part of the plant which is kept over and above the other plant is called the “scion” while the part of the other plant kept at the bottom is called a rootstock.

Thus, in grafting, the plant with the root system is kept at the bottom and hence it is called as root stock , and the portion of the plant with the buds is kept over and above the root stock and hence it is called as scion.

As a plant grows, new root hair cells are formed from unspecialised cells.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Root hairs appear in the root maturation zone and differentiate from unspecialised cells called trichoblasts.

Explanation:

Root hair arises as a small protrusion surrounded by a cell wall, they are found in the piliferous area; they can originate in unspecialised epidermal cells, in some called trichoblasts. The bump begins to elongate and moves away from the epidermis, forming root hair. The root hairs as they lengthen, it is seen that their content shows a polarized distribution, the apical part is constituted mainly by vesicles secreted by the Golgi apparatus that contain the precursors of the cell wall that are to be released by exocytosis. Trichoblasts can be arranged in different ways, there are roots where any of the cells that are part of the rhizodermis can give rise to a root hair. In other roots, trichoblasts and atricoblasts have been seen to be distinguished alternately along a row of cells.
