Having more small roots will increase the surface area available for water absorption, resulting in increased water collection. This allows the plant to uptake more water from the soil, which can support better growth and overall health of the plant.
The amount of soil can affect plant growth by providing nutrients and support to the roots. A larger amount of soil allows for more root growth, increasing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients. Conversely, plants may struggle to thrive in limited soil volume due to restricted root development.
Plants breathe in the soil with the help of their roots . Some plants such as mangroves grow in muddy soil which does not contain much oxygen. To get some air, some mangroves give out special roots called breathing roots. Breathing roots are lined with special cells ( called lentils ) that absorb air. But , plants usually do not breathe through their roots ( mostly through leaves ) . Mostly soil particles can go through roots but I don't know how.
Gravity affects root growth by exerting a force on the plant's roots, causing them to grow in the direction of the force. Roots typically grow downward in response to gravity, a phenomenon known as positive gravitropism. However, some plants have evolved to exhibit negative gravitropism, where their roots grow away from the force of gravity.
the plants roots sink into the rock and cracks the rock.
Trees are being ankered with their roots and those roots also help to prevent wind or water (rainfall) from creating a disturbance for soil erosion. The thicker the forest the less erosion will occur.
T hey are having fibrous roots.
it will kill the roots
YES
The dried leaves and roots of the chicory plant are collected in autumn for medicinal purposes. When flowering, the whole plant is collected and dried.
If the discriminant is negative, the roots will be two unreal complex conjugates. If the discriminate is positive the roots will be real.
gravitropism
No, having black hair gives you black roots.
Try backcoming it at the roots. This will add volume. You could also curl it. Check related links below on how to backcomb.
Gravitropism affects the roots of a plant, so say when you turn it on its side, after a while its roots will make an "L" shape.
Well if you have put citrus fruits or juices in your soil it may affect the roots. I have done this before, and my plant has died. The roots drink the citrus juice and it is not the right type of liquid for the roots. Only put citrus in the soil if its a big house plant.
they help it get food and water to survive
Storms tear the roots apart which can not reproduct
