The structure of Flowering Plants
- the external
- Roots
- Roots are found below Ground
- Function
- to anchor
- absorbs water
- stores food
- Types
- TAP ROOTS
- The primary roots
- lateral or secondary
roots emerge from
tap root
- tiny root hairs grow
from lateral roots
- example- carrot
- FIBROUS
- roots form a mass
of equally sized
branched roots
- grows more shallow
- "hairy"
- example: grasses
- ADVENTITIOUS
- Roots that
emerge from
other parts
of the plant
- Longitudinal Section of a root
- Protection: Root Cap
- proteccts root

- cell production: Meristem
- mitosis
- Apical Meristems

of tissues
- 1. Dermal tissue: protective layer
- 2. Vascular Tissue: transport
- xylem carries

- phloem
