Trimming of roots can cause dwarfing in plants.

Introduction:

Dwarfism is a characteristic of plants in which they have a very short height. The reason for this can be a genetic mutation or environmental effects. The roots of the plants are directly related to the height of the plants.

Photosynthesis is the process by which the plants make food in the form of glucose in the leaves. The leaves make food with the help of water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight, which is captured by the chloroplasts.
