Roots

The underground growing part of a plant. Grass roots are fibrous and multi-branched.
Roots can also be classified as Fine Roots or Structural Roots.

Roots are an essential, yet unseen, part of a plant. They
• provide anchorage for a plant,
• take in water and dissolved nutrients from the rootzone,
• act as food storage organs, and
• provide an important environmental service in preventing soil erosion.
There are different types of root variations, including aerial roots, e.g. Hedera helix (Ivy) and root tubers, e.g. Ficaria verna (Lesser Celandine).
