Nutrient Leaching
Leaching is the process where dissolved nutrients in the
soil profile moves downward with percolating water. It is the loss of
water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil. The nutrients that seep through
the rooting zone may be recycled if roots grow deeper.
The original roots of dodder usually die. As a parasitic plant that cannot produce its own chlorophyll, it breaks away from its root system as the roots has no apparent root cap nor apical meristems. Hence the "root" is not performing its very function of water and nutrient uptake. It then produces haustoria, a root-shaped fungi which penetrates host plant which makes the dodder parasitic.
