What are the storage structures for the root?

The primary storage structures for roots are the epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, and vascular tissue (xylem and phloem). These tissues work together to support the root's functions of anchoring the plant, absorbing water and nutrients, and storing carbohydrates. The root cap at the tip of the root helps protect the delicate growing tissue as it pushes through the soil.


What is the inner portion of the root that consists of storage cells?

the cortex

What is modified tap root?

Underground Root ModificationsTaproot and adventitious roots may undergo certain modifications to perform the function of storage and vegetative propagation.Tap Root Modifications (for storage of food)In some plants the tap roots store reserve food for which they become swollen and assume different shapes. There are four types :Fusiform root - In radish the modified tap root is thickened in the middle and tapers towards both ends.e.g., Raphanus sativus (Radish)Napiform root - In beetroot the modified tap root is greatly swollen at the base, but abruptly narrows into a tail-like portion.e.g., Beta vulgaris (Beetroot)Conical root - In carrot the modified tap root is conical. It is broad at the base and gradually tapers towards its apex.e.g., Daucas carota (carrot)

How can a new function be created by composing two existing functions?

You use the output of the first function as the input of the second function. For example, if your functions are sin() (the sine function) and root() (the square root function), you can combine them as:sin(root(x)) or: root(sin(x))


What are parenchymatous tissue in the root at primary and secondary growth?

Parenchymatous tissue in the root consists of living cells that are primarily responsible for storage, transport, and metabolic functions. During primary growth, this tissue is found in the cortex, aiding in storage and gas exchange. In secondary growth, particularly in woody plants, parenchyma contributes to the development of secondary xylem and phloem, facilitating increased storage capacity and support. Overall, parenchyma plays a crucial role in the root's overall function and adaptability throughout its growth stages.
