Root




                In order to identify plants from descriptions, and to work with them in such operations as propagation, pruning and pest control it is necessary to know plant parts and understand their function.

* Root :
Roots are usually below ground and lack nodes, shoots, and leaves. Roots:

* absorb NUTRIENTS and water from the soil
* anchor the plant in the soil, providing support for the stem
* often store food
