Roots on the upper parts of the plant are called adventitious roots. They are not real roots per se. In some plants, their role is to provide extra support to the plant, for example, maize. In other plants like orchids, the aerial roots function to attach the plant to a surface as well as absorb moisture from the air for the water requirement of the plant.
