Roots Functions

• Absorb H2O Dissolved Nutrients from Moist Soil

4
Roots Functions

• Anchor Plants in the Ground

5
Roots Functions

• Hold Plants Upright

  other roots
• Ex.) Oak Trees, Carrots

7
Roots Two Types

• Fibrous Roots
• Roots branch, no single root grows larger than
  the rest
• Prevents erosion
• Ex.) Grass

Vascular Tissue
9
Vascular Tissue

• Transports H2O Dissolved Nutrients Throughout
  the Plant

10
Vascular Tissue Two Types

• Xylem
• Carries water upward from roots

11
Vascular Tissue Two Types

• Phloem
• Transport of nutrients the carbohydrates
  produced by photosynthesis
