    If is a root system, the Dynkin diagram for the dual root system is obtained from the Dynkin diagram of by keeping all the same vertices and edges, but reversing the directions of all arrows. Thus, we can see from their Dynkin diagrams that B n {\displaystyle B_{n}} and C n {\displaystyle C_{n}} are dual to each other.

    The cross-section of a barley root. Root morphology is divided into four zones: the root cap, the apical meristem, the elongation zone, and the hair. [ 4 ] The root cap of new roots helps the root penetrate the soil. These root caps are sloughed off as the root goes deeper creating a slimy surface that provides lubrication.

    Chloroplasts in leaf cells of the moss Mnium stellare. Plant anatomy or phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants.Originally, it included plant morphology, the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, but since the mid-20th century, plant anatomy has been considered a separate field referring only to internal plant structure.

  5. Taproot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taproot

    The letters indicate where the root systems begin. A taproot is a large, central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally. Typically a taproot is somewhat straight and very thick, is tapering in shape, and grows directly downward. [1] In some plants, such as the carrot, the taproot is a storage organ so well developed that it ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stele_(biology)

    Stele (biology) In a vascular plant, the stele is the central part of the root or stem [1] containing the tissues derived from the procambium. These include vascular tissue, in some cases ground tissue (pith) and a pericycle, which, if present, defines the outermost boundary of the stele. Outside the stele lies the endodermis, which is the ...

  7. Tuber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuber

    A root tuber, tuberous root or storage root is a modified lateral root, enlarged to function as a storage organ. The enlarged area of the tuber can be produced at the end or middle of a root or involve the entire root. It is thus different in origin, but similar in function and appearance, to a stem tuber.

    Indehiscent – not opening at maturity. Reticulate – web-like or network-like. Striated – marked by a series of lines, grooves, or ridges.

    The epidermis (from the Greek ἐπιδερμίς, meaning "over-skin") is a single layer of cells that covers the leaves, flowers, roots and stems of plants. It forms a boundary between the plant and the external environment. The epidermis serves several functions: it protects against water loss, regulates gas exchange, secretes metabolic ...
