<span>Aside from absorbing water and nutrients in the ground, roots are also the very support of a tree. It supports bigger trees to stand and stay steady against heavy rains and strong winds. Roots are also capable of absorbing water that may cause flood in the area, and support slopes that may result to landslides. Roots are very important because it lessen the chances of soil erosion in a certain place. Roots can also be used for plant vegetations.</span>

Other functions do the roots serve, aside from absorbing water and nutrients are to store food reserves, respiratory sites and as a place to attach/support plants in soil media

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

Organs in plants consist of roots, stems, and leaves. Besides, there are also flowers, fruit, and seeds

The root is a plant organ that is present in the soil, although some are above the ground such as orchids

Root functions, among others

  • 1. Places to store food reserves for example such as carrots
  • 2. Respiratory sites such as mangrove plants
  • 3. As a place to attach/support plants in soil media, because of the ability of roots to break through the soil
  • 4. Absorbing mineral salts of nutrients in the soil and also water through the hairs of the roots

The epidermis layer is one of the root constituent tissues of plants that have root hairs to expand the absorption of minerals/water

While the cortex functions for the gas exchange process and plays a role in storing food reserves

At the root tip itself, there is a root covering that protects the root when it grows in the soil thereby strengthening the sticking of the roots in the soil
