Why do plants have all kinds of roots?

When it comes to plant roots, the most common are probably the roots of some grass and crops. They are often thin and dense, like human hair. The roots of big trees are not easy to see. During greening and planting, some trees ready to be transplanted are covered with a large mass of soil, which is the roots. They are usually strong and strong.

There are all kinds of plants in the world, and most of them have the same roots. Some have a particularly strong taproot and many small roots beside them; Some roots are very dense, but almost the same thickness. The roots of these plants have two main uses: one is to fix the position and support the body; The second is to absorb water and minerals from the soil. The taller the trees are, the stronger and deeper their roots will be. Only in this way can the trees stand steadily and absorb more water and minerals.

However, there are some plants whose roots grow very special and have different "uses". For example, radish and carrot are special roots, which are very fat and strong. The nutrients produced by their leaves through photosynthesis are transported to the roots for storage, which is like a nutrient warehouse. In addition, Chlorophytum, a common plant for family greening, will draw slender branches from the leaf clusters. The top of the branches will not only grow new leaf clusters, but also produce new fine roots, which can absorb water from the air. Plants living in bogs are not short of water, but lack air. Therefore, the roots of some plants will emerge from the mud and breathe well in the air.
