roots grow before shoots in order to sustain the structure the plant will need during development. in addition, it aids in the acquisition of essential nutrients from the soil that is critical for a plant's growth.

∙ 14y agoBecause they're lower growing and because they have shallower roots are the reasons why shrubs tend to grow and reach their mature height before trees. Shrubs that mature to a height of around 30 feet/9.144 meters may be considered small trees. But no matter the height, their shallower roots allow them to stake their claims first to the necessary, life sustaining dissolved nutrients that soak into the soil.

Why do grasses and weeds appear before trees and shrubs?
That their roots tend to be fibrous and that they mature to a lower height are reasons why shrubs grow before trees.Specifically, shrubs tend to have fibrous roots that grow closer to the surface and that work their way into air and moisture pore spaces in the soil. This permits shrubs to access available moisture and nutrients shortly after their entry into the soil. This means that shrubs tend to access what they need for growth before trees do. Additionally, shrubs have lower requirements in terms of mature size. Shrub heights below 30 feet (9.14 meters) are reached sooner than those above that level, which is the bottom range in mature sizes for trees.
