The Root System

Taproot: one main root with smaller branch roots (mango, rose, mustard). Fibrous roots: bunch of thin roots, no main root (grass, wheat, rice, maize). Functions: absorb water and minerals from soil, anchor plant, store food (carrots, radish = modified taproots). Root hair cells increase surface area.
