What is the difference between Primary roots, and Secondary (lateral) roots?

• Primary roots branch off from secondary roots, which first form in the embryo.

• Secondary roots branch off from the primary roots, which first form in the embryo.

• Secondary roots are smaller, less significant roots.

• Primary roots are smaller, less significant root.s

What are adventitious roots?

• Roots that branch off from the main roots.

• Roots that develop from non-root tissues, such as leaves or stems.

• Roots that are not needed by the plant, or provide no primary function nor nutrition.

• The main roots of the plant.

Which root system applies to Eudicots?

• Single primary root with smaller, branching secondary roots.

• Fibrous, Adventitious roots that develop from the base of the stem.

Which root system applies to Monocots?

• Single primary root, with smaller, branching secondary roots.

• Fibrous, Adventitious roots that develop from the base of the stem.

What other functions can roots provide?

• Corn propping roots.

• Carrot storage roots.

• Water storage for less soggy greens.

How do xylem and phloem look different?

• Xylem show up as larger holes in the monocot root stele.

• Phloem show up as smaller holes in monocot root stele.

• Xylem show up as smaller holes in the monocot root stele.

• Phloem show up as larger holes in the monocot root stele.

What is the cortex used for?

• Starch storage

• Structural support

• structural boundary

• vascular cylinder
