18. Comparison of Root Systems

19. Roots: Function Roots anchor the plant in the substratum or soil. Roots absorb water and dissolved nutrients or solutes (nitrogen, phosphorous, magnesium, boron, etc.) needed for normal growth, development, photosynthesis, and reproduction. In some plants, roots have become adapted for specialized functions.

22. Root Cross Section

23. Symbiotic Roots Legumes (e.g., pea, beans, peanuts) form root nodules. Mutualism between a plant and bacterium which allows for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen to form that the plant can utilized. The bacterium is reward with food and a place to live

24. Symbiotic Roots Mycorrhizae or "fungus roots" where a symbiotic relationship forms between a plant and a fungus. In this partnership the fungus provides protection against some types of pathogens and increase the surface area for the absorption of essential nutrients (e.g. phosphorous) from the soil. The plant in return provides food for the fungus in the form of sugar and amino acids
