Draw what the original root and lateral root would look like
when viewed from the side, labeling both roots.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction 

Root: are the organ of plants which usually lies below the ground. They help in absorption of water and nutrient from the soil. Additionally, they provide mechanical support to the plant. They contain meristematic tissue which helps in the elongation and differentiation of cells thus helps in root growth. Roots emerge from the radicle.

Two types of roots are present in plants viz. Tap root and Adventitious roots.

Also, there is main root and lateral root.

Lateral root: they increase the surface area of primary roots thus helps in more absorption of water and nutrients. They emerge from the pericycle region of the root which is part of meristematic tissue. In some species they form symbiotic association with Rhizobia.

Auxin hormone and PIN proteins helps in formation of lateral roots. Auxin helps in cell elongation via PIN proteins. Lateral roots are formed due to secondary growth in the primary root.
