Summary Introduction
To review:
The various tissues and their functions that arise in a root system.
Introduction:
Plants consist of two systems: root system and shoot system. The shoot system is present above the ground and root system below the ground. The root system anchors the plant in the soil and also absorbs the water along with minerals from the soil. The root system is of two types. The first is the tap root system, which arises from the radicle, and has a main root bearing small lateral roots. The second is the adventitious root system, which arises from any other plant parts, such as stems and leaves rather than the radicle.

Observe the root system of a plant with root nodules. If you don’t have these plants at home or at your backyard, you may look up for their pictures in any references. Draw the root system and describe the nodules by noting the location, nature of attachment, shape, and their relative sizes.
Describe the significance of the following structures in root formation:
Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath
Epithelial diaphragm
Give the anatomical differences between the woody root and woody stem in terms of tissue organization.

- A plant stem's two main functions are to support the leaves and to transport materials between roots and leaves. As a stem develops, it possesses three types of permanent tissues: surface tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. The surface and ground tissues support and give structure to the plant. The vascular tissues are the transport systems of the plant. The vascular tissues usually exist in one of three patterns and are known as the phloem and xylem. Both the xylem and phloem are made up of several different types of cells that make up transport tubes for needed nutrients. In general, xylem nutrients (sap) travel from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem sap is derived from photosynthesizing leaves and from there is carried throughout the plant. 24.
