Some herbaceous dicots and monocots have contractile
roots that pull the plant deeper into the soil. Many lily bulbs
are pulled a little deeper into the soil each year as new sets
of contractile roots are developed (Fig. 5.13). The bulbs
continue to be pulled down until an area of relatively stable
temperatures is reached. Plants such as dandelions always
seem to have the leaves coming out of the ground as the top
of the stem is pulled down a small amount each year when
the root contracts. The contractile part of the root may lose
as much as two-thirds of its length within a few weeks as
stored food is used and the cortex collapses.

What are examples of contractile roots?
Examples of plants with contractile roots include lilies, tulips, and some species of Asparagus. These roots have the ability to contract, allowing the plant to pull itself deeper into the soil. This adaptation helps the plant anchor itself securely and access nutrients from deeper soil layers.
How are fleshy roots classified?
Fleshy roots are classified based on their structure and function. They can be classified as storage roots, which store energy and nutrients for the plant, or as contractile roots, which help to anchor the plant in the soil and pull the plant deeper into the ground. Examples of fleshy roots include tubers (e.g. sweet potatoes), rhizomes (e.g. ginger), and corms (e.g. taro).
What organelle helps move excess water?
A specific type of vacuole, called a contractile vacuole expels excess water from many fresh water protists.
Contractile proteins are found in what?
Muscles

What are 3 different types of roots?
Adventitious roots, aerating roots, aerial roots, contractile roots, coarse roots, fine rootsm haustorial roots, propagative roots, proteoid roots, stilt roots, storage roots, structural roots, surface roots, and tuberous roots.
Where contractile vacuoles are located in amoeba?
contractile vacuoles merge with the cell membrane..
Contractile and non-contractile heart muscles?
The non-contractile element are skeletal muscles that don't contract such as Epimysium,Perimysium and, Endomysium. Contractile muscle contract as a whole muscle instead of single bundles of muscle fibers
