Not all parts of the plant are actively dividing. They have differentiated cells that may may be living or dead. only a small fractions of the cells are actively dividing. These cells are called as meristem. The tip of the roots are actively dividing and thus they are best suitable of studying mitosis.

Why are roots good for studying the cell cycle?

The root apex is a region of constant cell division (mitose) since it's an area associated with growth. Because of that there will be many cells undergoing mitosis and the cromossomes are easy to see when dyed.


Why are roots a good place to study the cell cycle?

Growth in an organism is carefully controlled by regulating the cell cycle. In plants, the roots continue to grow as they search for water and nutrients. These regions of growth are good for studying the cell cycle because at any given time, you can find cells that are undergoing mitosis.
