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.

What are the types of roots?

The two main types of roots are fibrous roots and taproots. Fibrous roots are shallow and form a dense network close to the surface, while taproots are a single, thick root that grows deep into the ground.

What are the different types of specialized roots in plants?

Strangling roots: the special name for roots of strangling figs (Ficus), which are primary hemiepiphytes that begin life as tropical epiphytes in trees and send down adventitious roots that become rooted in the soil. The roots surround the host trunk, eventually strangling the bark and killing the host tree.Still roots: Still roots are adventitious support roots (mangroves). They grown from lateral branches, branching in the soil surfaceetc,.


Which types of roots are there with parallel venation?

Plants with parallel venation typically have fibrous roots. These roots are thin, hair-like structures that spread out horizontally from the base of the plant. They are efficient at absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.


Which type of roots absorb moisture from the soil and anchor the plants?

Fibrous roots are types of roots that absorb moisture from the soil and anchor plants. They are typically thin and spread out near the surface of the soil to efficiently absorb water and nutrients.
