The root of a tooth anchors it securely into the jawbone, providing stability and support during chewing and biting. It contains the dental pulp, which houses nerves and blood vessels that nourish the tooth and help maintain its health. Additionally, the root is covered by cementum, a hard tissue that assists in the attachment of the tooth to the surrounding periodontal ligament. Overall, the root plays a crucial role in the tooth's structure and function.
