Observation: Root Diversity Taproots and fibrous roots. Most plants have either a taproot or they have a fibrous root. Note in Figure 19.8a that carrots have a taproot. The main root is many times larger than the branch roots. Grasses such as in Figure 19.8b have a fibrous root: All the roots are approximately the same size. Examine the taproots on display, and name one or two in which the taproot is enlarged for storage. The dandelion on display has a fibrous root. Describe. Taproots in particular function in food storage. Adventitious roots. Some plants have adventitious roots. Roots that develop from nonroot tissues, such as nodes of stems, are called adventitious roots. Examples include the prop roots of corn (Fig. 19.8c) and the aerial roots of ivy that attach this plant to structures such as stone walls Which plants on display have adventitious roots? Other types of roots. Mangroves above the water line. Pneumatophores have nume occur rous lenticels, which are openings that allow gas exchange to What root modifications not noted here are on display in your laboratory? Figure 19.8 Root diversity. ts have a taproot, b. Grass has a fibrous root system. c. A corn plant has prop roots, and d. black mangroves have pneumatophores to increase their intake of oxygen. G.Prop roots, a type of adventitious root a. Taproot system b. Fibrous root system d. Pneumatophores of black mangrove trees
Explanation / Answer
Ans. Fig. (a ) carrot display the taproot system having enlarged root for storage.
In the display the root which is displayed as fibrous root is grass not dandelion. Also dandelion come under taproot system. So fig (b) is displaying grass as fibrous root system.fibrous root system is formed of fine branches like structure and no central axis.
A corn plant in the display fig(c)showing the adventitious roots.
As further modifications of root system is present such as fusiform, conical etc. Mangroves and other swelling trees have root called pnematophores. These are displayed in fig (D). But as I do not have necessary info regarding your laboratory so I can't predict the exact what root modification is not displayed here.
