Surface roots generally are called aerating roots (or pneumatophores). The surface roots of bonsi trees are called nebari, and are an integral part of shaping the final bonsi tree art.
the roots which are grown on the external surface of a plant for the purpose of mechanical support are called as epiphytic roots
No.Plant roots have large surface area,roots have root hairs to increase the surface area so that large amounts of water can be absorbed easily.
buttressed roots remain close to the surface and support the trees.
They increase the surface area of the roots, allowing more water to be gathered and absorbed by the plant.
It is important for the roots of desert plants to grow near the surface of the ground so the desert plant's roots may get water easily ( without going into many kinds of trouble ).

Because the roots of the saguaro cactus are just below the surface.
The lower part of the tree which come from the ground is the trunk or bole. Below the soil surface are the roots.
The adaption of buttress roots help trees because in rainforests, 70% of the nutrients are on the surface of the soil and if your roots are on the surface, they can absorb more nutrients

That would be the roots. Major functions are the absorption of water and nutrients and for anchoring the plant to the ground. The outer surface of the primary root is called the epidermis. The process in which water is absorbed into the epidermal cells is called osmosis.
The thick mass of roots at the surface of the soil is called the fibrous root. This root helps anchor the tree into the soil and allows for the roots to expand in different directions.
They increase the surface area of the roots, allowing more water to be gathered and absorbed by the plant.
