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.

What are contractile roots?
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. Figure
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 are some examples of contractile proteins?
Actin and myosin .
What are the examples of adventitous roots?
Examples of adventitious roots include prop roots of corn, aerial roots of ivy, pneumatophores of mangroves, and stilt roots of pandanus. These roots develop from stems, branches, or even leaves of the plant, providing additional support, anchorage, or access to oxygen.
