  2. Aerial root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_root

    Adventitious roots usually develop from plantlet nodes formed via horizontal, above ground stems, termed stolons, e.g., strawberry runners, and spider plant. Some leaves develop adventitious buds, which then form adventitious roots, e.g. piggyback plant (Tolmiea menziesii) and mother-of-thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana). The adventitious ...

  3. Fibrous root system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_root_system

    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 root system is universal in monocotyledonous plants and ferns. The fibrous root systems look like a mat made out of roots when the plant has reached full maturity.

  4. Taproot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taproot

    The taproot system contrasts with the adventitious- or fibrous-root system of plants with many branched roots, but many plants that grow a taproot during germination go on to develop branching root structures, although some that rely on the main root for storage may retain the dominant taproot for centuries—for example, Welwitschia.

  5. Root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root

    Most aerial roots and stilt roots are adventitious. In some conifers adventitious roots can form the largest part of the root system. Adventitious root formation is enhanced in many plant species during (partial) submergence, to increase gas exchange and storage of gases like oxygen. [28] Distinct types of adventitious roots can be classified ...

  6. Glossary of plant morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_plant_morphology

    Adventitiousroots that form from other than the hypocotyl or from other roots. Roots forming on the stem are adventitious. Aerial – roots growing in the air. (Root) crown – the place where the roots and stem meet, which may or may not be clearly visible. [10] Fibrous – describes roots that are thread-like and normally tough.

  7. Plant development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    Propagation via root cuttings requires adventitious bud formation, e.g., in horseradish and apple. In layering, adventitious roots are formed on aerial stems before the stem section is removed to make a new plant. Large houseplants are often propagated by air layering. Adventitious roots and buds must develop in tissue culture propagation of ...

  8. Monocotyledon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocotyledon

    Nymphaeaceae (water lilies) have reticulate veins, a single cotyledon, adventitious roots, and a monocot-like vascular bundle. These examples reflect their shared ancestry. [ 35 ] Nevertheless, this list of traits is generally valid, especially when contrasting monocots with eudicots , rather than non-monocot flowering plants in general.

  9. Stolon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolon

    In botany, stolons are plant stems which grow at the soil surface or just below ground that form adventitious roots at the nodes, and new plants from the buds. [1] [2] Stolons are often called runners. Rhizomes, in contrast, are root-like stems that may either grow horizontally at the soil surface or in other orientations underground. [1]
