Do secondary roots grow out of the primary root?
Yes.
Which are the primary and secondary root?
During seed germination radicle forms the primary root, all other roots coming out are secondary in origin.
How can you identify a tap root system?
There is a prominent primary root from which the secondary roots branch out.....:D
How are plants roots adopted to take in water from the soil?
with taproots, the primary and secondary roots grow long. they can reach a deep water source. with fibrous roots, the fine, numerous roots allow fast absorption of water near the soil surface.
What are the functions of primary roots?
It provides stability for the plant
Do secondary roots grow out of the primary root?
Yes.
Which are the primary and secondary root?

What types of roots does jowar have?
The root system of the Jowar plant can be divided into a primary and secondary root system. The primary system has a primary root that develops from the germinating seedling and provides the seedling with water and nutrients required for growth. The primary root is short-lived, and the function of the primary root is taken over by a secondary root system. The secondary system develops from the root crowns that are located just under or above the soil. The root system of an adult Jowar plant is made of secondary adventitious roots. Lateral roots develop from the secondary adventitious roots and penetrate the soil in all directions.
How do primary teeth differ from secondary teeth?
1-The primary dentition is smaller in size than secondary dentition,except mesiodistal length of molar about 1/3 bigger than premolars. 2-Primary dentition is bluish,white and more opaque than secondary. 3-Primary dentition have more pronounced cervical margin. 4-Crowns of the anterior primary dentition are more bulbous,pronounced labial cingulum.

Which takes longer primary succession or secondary succession?
Secondary succession is faster than primary succession because soil is already there and the soil usually contains many seeds.
What type of roots do plants have?
Desert plants are known to have taproots. With these types of roots there are two components which consist of the primary root and secondary lateral roots. These types of roots can also be found on dandelions, carrots, radishes, potatoes, and beets.

How does step farming prevent soil erosion?
The roots of the plants namely primary,secondary and tertiary roots while absorbing water from the soil, will hold the soil packets around them due to the sucking action. As the plant grows, the primary roots go deeper into the soil and the secondary and tertiary roots spread around it thus widening its base. With this the capacity of the roots to hold the soil around its periphery will increase.Thus the number of plants planted at a certain predetermined distance will help to prevent the soil erosion.
What is the difference between primary and secondary growth?
Primary growth is the lengthening of the stem and roots. All plant growth occurs by cell division and cell elongation. Cell division occurs primarily in regions of undifferentiated cells known as meristems. Cell division in the apical meristems and subsequent elongation and maturation of the new cells produces primary growth." on the other hand, secondary growth is the result of the activity of the vascular cambium. The latter is a meristem that divides to produce secondary xylem cells on the inside of the meristem (the adaxial side) and secondary phloem cells on the outside (the abaxial side). This growth increases the girth of the plant root or stem, rather than its length, hence the phrase "secondary thickening". As long as the vascular cambium continues to produce new cells, the stem or root will continue to grow in diameter. In woody plants, this process produces wood.
What is closest to the center of a woody stem?
Vascular cambium
What roots does a dandelion have?
The dandelion is has a taproot system, which consists of one large primary root, and several small secondary roots. This is why it is so difficult to pull out dandelions completely, without breaking the stem and leaving the root in the ground.
