The principal root, also known as the taproot, is the main root of a plant that typically grows vertically downward and serves as the primary anchor for the plant. It develops from the embryonic root during germination and is responsible for storing nutrients and absorbing water from deeper soil layers. In some plants, the principal root can give rise to secondary roots, contributing to the overall root system's stability and nutrient uptake.
