Buttress Roots provide extra support for trees growing in spongy wet soils.
One of the adaptations are that they have shallow roots that let it absorb water quickly.
Long roots that absorb water!
tiny hair on the roots ,swollen leaf stalk......
there roots pick up much more water, that is why it's big
tiny hair on the roots and a swollen leaf stalk
It growsfast and has short roots unlike other bamboo
allow them to obtain oxygen from the air, such as aerial roots.
Short roots can thrive in the shallow layer of soil above permafrost. With long roots, their roots cannot grow through the permafrost and the plant will fall over.
The adaptations of them are completely different...eg.dandelions have thick tapered roots where as goosegrass roots are thin and long
large leaves to strangle and kill other plants and think roots for water and nutrience consumption.
Roots that grow horizontally are called adventitious roots. These roots develop from plant stems or leaves rather than from the primary root system. They are commonly found in plants that need extra support or in those that have adaptations for absorbing water and nutrients from the surrounding environment.
It has waxy leaves to cut down water loss and long tap roots to reach moisture underground.
