Nematodes are wormlike organisms which can be seen with naked eye, live in water-filled pore spaces in the soil. Nematodes are in large number in the upper soil layers where organic matter, plant roots, and other resources are most abundant.
The functions of nematodes:
- Free-living nematodes decompose organic material into nutrients and cycled them in the soil by feeding on some bacteria and fungi.
- Nematodes help in distributing bacteria and fungi through the soil and along roots by carrying live and dormant microbes.
- They used as food for higher predators, soil microorthropodes.
- They eat disease-causing organisms, thus suppress their growth.
- They acts as potential bio- control agents.
Answer:
Explanation:
The fibrous root is one of the small hair-like roots of the fibrous root system. Fibrous roots are derived from the base of the plant. This root system is available mainly in Monocotyledons, Gymnospermae (conifers) and Pteridophyta (ferns). Most of the fibrous roots grow horizontally and very few roots grow vertically to anchor the plant. Most importantly, the fibrous roots are short. They grow near the surface of the soil, not deep into the soil.
