Resource summary
The structure of Flowering Plants
the external
Roots
Roots are found below Ground
Function
to anchor
absorbs water
stores food
Types
TAP ROOTS
The primary roots
lateral or secondary roots emerge from tap root
tiny root hairs grow from lateral roots
example- carrot
FIBROUS
roots form a mass of equally sized branched roots
grows more shallow
"hairy"
example: grasses
ADVENTITIOUS
Roots that emerge from other parts of the plant
Longitudinal Section of a root
Protection: Root Cap
proteccts root tip as it emerges from soil
cell production: Meristem
mitosis
Apical Meristems located root and shoot tips
elongation: plant growth regulators
differentiation: Root hairs form. identical cells change to form new tissues
Transverse Section of Root
the new cells formed by meristems form 3 types of tissues
1. Dermal tissue: protective layer
2. Vascular Tissue: transport
xylem carries water and minerals
phloem carries food
3. Ground tissue
objectives
the external structure of a flowering plant
