The answer is ganglia. As indicated, they house many cell
bodies of afferent and efferent neurons.
Spinal ganglia are located in the dorsal (that contain cell bodies of afferent
neurons) and ventral roots (that house cell body
of efferent neurons) of a spinal nerve.
I think its because so the plants can absorb more nutrients from the soil while being sturdy and wide so when the plant gets snowed on it doesn't break<span />
