Root mucilage also helps soil to stick to roots. [13] The purpose of this is to maintain the plant's contact with the soil so that the plant can regulate the levels of water it can absorb, decrease friction so that roots can penetrate through the soil, and maintain a micro-climate . [ 14 ]
Mucigel is a slimy substance that covers the root cap of the roots of plants. It is a highly hydrated polysaccharide, [1] most likely a pectin, which is secreted from the outermost (epidermal) cells of the rootcap. Mucigel is formed in the Golgi bodies of such cells, and is secreted through the process of exocytosis.

RTCS-like (RTCL) is another auxin-responsive gene. RTCL is a paralog of RTCS, but unlike the rtcs mutant which does not initiate roots, the rtcl mutant shows a defect in nodal root elongation. RTCL interacts with a stress-responsive protein (STR) exclusively in the cytosol suggesting its involvement in brace root stress response.
