What is the microscopic parts of the root?

Answer 1

The three major function of the roots are

1. To absorb water and minerals from the soil and send it to the leaves through stem.

2. To help the plant grip itself in the soil. That is the reason both the root and shoot system grow proportionate.

3.In some plant it acts as a store place for food. (Eg. beet root, carrot)

Answer 2

Young root tip: axis of the plant which grows in the opposite direction from the stem, maintain the plant in place and absorbs nutrients.

Surface: view of the external part of a root.

Longitudinal section: cut through the length of the root.

Root hair zone: part of the root on which are located the root hairs that absorbs water and nutrients.

Elongation zone: set of cells that determine the growth of the root.

Apical meristem: tissue at the top of the root composed of rapidly multiplying cells.

Root cap: envelope that protects the young root.
