A dimorphic root system is a plant root system with two distinct root forms, which are adapted to perform different functions. One of the most common...

Look up root or roots in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. A root is the part of a plant, generally underground, that anchors the plant body, and absorbs...

Root pressure is the transverse osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves. Root pressure...
