However, roots can also be aerial or aerating (growing up above the ground or especially above water). Furthermore, a stem normally occurring below ground is not exceptional either (rhizome).Therefore, the root is best defined as the non-leaf, non-nodes bearing parts of the plant's body. However, important internal structural differences between stems and roots exist. Characteristics of roots:1. It is negatively phototropic. That is it grows away from light. 2. It cannot synthesis food. 3. Numerous unicellular root hairs increase the surface area of roots so that absorption of water and minerals are easier. 4. It has not got leaves, buds, nodes and internodes. Types of Root Systems:1. Fibrous Roots:It is usually formed by thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem. A fibrous root system is universal in monocotyledonous
