Lateral roots are shoots off the primary root of a plant that grow out horizontally. The help to securely anchor the flower into the soil as well as take in water.
Roots transport nutrients and water to the main flower/plant. They also help support the flower/plant and keep it anchored.
Lateral roots arise from the pericycle tissue in plants. The pericycle is a layer of cells located within the outer layers of the plant roots and is responsible for giving rise to lateral roots as part of the root system's growth and development.
c. lateral roots, they are part of the root system
Lateral roots develop from the pericycle, which is a layer of plant cells located in the outermost layer of the vascular cylinder in the root.
The lateral roots are originated from the pericycle cells.
roots collect water and nutrients for the flower.
Lateral roots are predominantly to add support to the plant, normally tall trees will have strong lateral roots (combined with a tap root system) in order to make sure the plant is not blown over. Obviously lateral roots still perform the function of normal roots in the uptake of water and nutrient's.
Lateral roots are secondary roots that branch off from the primary root of a plant. They play a key role in anchoring the plant in the soil and absorbing water and nutrients. Lateral roots typically grow horizontally to explore a larger area of soil for resources.
Lateral roots that extend out are called secondary roots. These roots branch off from the primary root and play a key role in nutrient absorption and anchoring the plant in the soil.
