1. Fibrous Root  A fibrous root system is the opposite of a taproot system. It is usually formed by thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem. A fibrous rootsystem is universal in monocotyledonous plants and ferns.

2. Taproot a straight tapering root growing vertically downward and forming the center from which subsidiary rootlets spring.

2.Buttress Root It's aerial roots that look like buttresses It supports the tall trunks of some tropical trees
3.Storage Roots Store food and water, or nutrients in their roots (eg. the common beet)
4.Pneumatophores (air roots) produced by trees that inhabit tidal swamps. By projecting above the water's surface, they enable the root system to obtain oxygen.
5.Strangling aerial roots The seeds that germinate in the branches of tall trees of other species and send numerous aerial roots to the ground. These snake-like roots gradually wrap around the host tree and objects. The host tree dies of shading by the fig leaves]]> 2016-12-01 15:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141129463 taparis_johnson https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141734096 Prop Roots]]> 2016-12-05 14:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141734096 taparis_johnson https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141735558 Buttress Roots]]> 2016-12-05 14:08:28 UTC https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141735558 Storage Root taparis_johnson https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141736368 2016-12-05 14:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141736368 taparis_johnson https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141737585 Pneumatophores]]> 2016-12-05 14:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141737585 Strangling erial taparis_johnson https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141737931 2016-12-05 14:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141737931 Roots in the environment taparis_johnson https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141738922 Plant roots produce soil cohesion1, retain soil on slopes2,3 and cycle nutrients through soils, which are amongst the largest carbon sinks on Earth4. Human disturbance of the root environment contributes to accelerated erosion. ]]> 2016-12-05 14:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141738922 Largest root system taparis_johnson https://padlet.com/taparis_johnson/surtkraunwh1/wish/141739785 Pando
