I: | In majority of the dicotyledonous plants, the direct elongation of the radicle leads to the formation of primary root which grows inside the soil. |
II: | It bears lateral roots of several orders that are referred to as secondary, tertiary, etc., roots. |
III: | The primary roots and its branches constitute the tap root system, as seen in the mustard plant. |
I: | The primary roots and its branches constitute the tap root system, as seen in the mustard plant. |
II: | Fibrous root system is seen in the wheat plant. |
III: | Adventitious roots are seen in Monstera and the banyan tree |
1. | Tap roots are the main roots from which other roots sprout laterally, while fibrous roots have no main root but many branching roots. |
2. | Fibrous roots grow deep into the soil, while tap roots spread out near the soil surface. |
3. | Tap roots are found in monocots, while fibrous roots are found in dicots. |
4. | Fibrous roots store food, whereas tap roots do not store food. |
I: | the apex is covered by a thimble-like structure called the root cap |
II: | cells of the region of meristematic activity divide repeatedly |
III: | Root hairs are found in the region of elongation |
1. | Root cap, zone of elongation, zone of maturation, meristematic zone |
2. | Meristematic zone, zone of elongation, zone of maturation, root cap |
3. | Root cap, meristematic zone, zone of elongation, zone of maturation |
4. | Zone of maturation, zone of elongation, root cap, meristematic zone |
1. | Monocotyledonous plants generally have taproot systems with one or more primary and secondary roots. |
2. | The root hair zone develops in the region of elongation. |
3. | Roots that develop from a stem, leaf, or other plant part are called adventitious roots. |
4. | Apical meristem is found in the region of maturation. |
I. | Root cap protects the tender apex of the root |
II. | Region of elongation is proximal to region of meristematic activity |
III. | Region of maturation has root hairs |
I: | prop roots of banyan |
II: | stilt roots of maize |
III: | betel/black where nodes and internodes bear roots that help in climbing |
