What does the root do in the tooth?
The root of a tooth anchors it securely into the jawbone, providing stability and support during chewing and biting. It contains the dental pulp, which houses nerves and blood vessels that nourish the tooth and help maintain its health. Additionally, the root is covered by cementum, a hard tissue that assists in the attachment of the tooth to the surrounding periodontal ligament. Overall, the root plays a crucial role in the tooth's structure and function.

Why the root of the tooth become soft before the upper part of the tooth?
The root of the tooth tends to become soft before the upper part due to the nature of its structure and the surrounding environment. The roots are embedded in the jawbone and are more susceptible to bacterial infection and periodontal disease, which can lead to resorption of the root structure. Additionally, the root is composed of a softer tissue called cementum, while the crown is covered in enamel, which is much harder and more resistant to decay. This differential vulnerability contributes to the root softening before the crown.
What is anatomical and clinical root?
The anatomical root refers to the part of a tooth that is embedded in the jawbone. The clinical root is the part of the tooth that is visible and extends above the gum line. Together, the anatomical and clinical roots provide stability to the tooth and support the surrounding structures.
