  2. Root mucilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mucilage

    Root mucilage is made of plant-specific polysaccharides or long chains of sugar molecules. [1] [2] This polysaccharide secretion of root exudate forms a gelatinous substance that sticks to the caps of roots. [3] Root mucilage is known to play a role in forming relationships with soil-dwelling life forms.
