Out Of Focus Plants, Which Includes Flowers, Roots, Trees, Bushes, and Moss

Image
Roots, As A Part Of Plants

In vascular plants, the root is the organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil. Roots can also be aerial or aerating, that is, growing up above the ground or especially above water. Furthermore, a stem normally occurring below ground is not exceptional either (see rhizome). Therefore, the root is best defined as the non-leaf, non-nodes bearing parts of the plant's body. However, important internal structural differences between stems and roots exist.[from wikipedia]
