  3. Root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root

    A true root system consists of a primary root and secondary roots (or lateral roots). the diffuse root system: the primary root is not dominant; the whole root system is fibrous and branches in all directions. Most common in monocots. The main function of the fibrous root is to anchor the plant.

  4. Dynkin diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynkin_diagram

    Dynkin diagrams must satisfy an additional restriction, namely that the only allowable edge labels are 2, 3, 4, and 6, a restriction not shared by Coxeter diagrams, so not every Coxeter diagram of a finite group comes from a Dynkin diagram. At the level of root systems this corresponds to the crystallographic restriction theorem, as the roots ...

  5. Lateral root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_root

    The following description is for early events in lateral root formation of the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana: Lateral root formation is initiated in pericycle (located between the endodermis and vascular tissue) of the root system, and begins with a process referred to as priming. In this stage, you have rhythmic bouts of gene expression ...

  6. Root hair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_hair

    Root hair cells vary between 15 and 17 micrometers in diameter, and 80 and 1,500 micrometers in length. [5] Root hairs are found only in the zone of maturation, also called the zone of differentiation. [6] They are not found in the zone of elongation, possibly because older root hairs are sheared off as the root elongates and moves through the ...

  7. Taproot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taproot

    The fibrous-root system (A) is characterized by many roots with similar sizes. In contrast, plants that use the taproot system (B) grow a main root, with smaller roots branching off. The letters indicate where the root systems begin. A taproot is a large, central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout

  8. Plant anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_anatomy

    Chloroplasts in leaf cells of the moss Mnium stellare. Plant anatomy or phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants.Originally, it included plant morphology, the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, but since the mid-20th century, plant anatomy has been considered a separate field referring only to internal plant structure.

  9. Plant stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. It supports leaves, flowers and fruits, transports water and dissolved substances between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem, engages in photosynthesis, stores nutrients, and produces new living tissue.
