It would be interesting that someone could say something about how the roots work and what is the function of the aerial roots in some trees, e.g. Ficus.

I expanded the heck out of a stub article on Aerial roots, and made a link. --Thaadd 22:03, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

It would also be useful to have a list of nutrients and how they generally help/hinder root development.

it would also be helpful if u have root functions

Re the photo of maize "prop roots", the article does not describe such a thing as a "prop root", and I wonder if these should actually be called "stilt roots", which are described. 76.14.154.14 (talk) 18:09, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I was wondering... in the 'see also' section, since there is a link to "fibrous root system"... shouldn't there be links to taproot, aerial roots and adventitious roots too?

id like to know about surface cells and cel,l division

--- I'd like to support the first comment in that I think the portions of page attributed to the actual absorptive functions of roots is lacking. I'd also like to see a short note about legumes and their nitrogen fixing capabilities __________________________ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.176.140 (talk) 00:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe the opening paragraph contains incorrect information about roots that contain lemon and cause leprosy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.132.17 (talk) 03:11, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

deepest roots: contradictory information given inthe article
The passage about rooting depths in text contradicts the following table.

To solve this: has anyone access to Jennings CMH (1974)  The  hydrology  of  Botswana. PhD thesis, Univeristy of Natal, South Africa? It's cited as source in Canadell et al. (1996) (see references) and, by context, identified as a living root.

Key qotes: [...] "in some  instances,  roots  of woody  species  have  been seen  exceptionally  deep  in  the  soil.  This  is  the  case  of Boscia  albitrunca  and Acacia  erioloba  whose  roots  have been  found  at  a  depth  of 68  m  and  60  m, respectively, in the  central  Kalahari,  Botswana  (Jennings  1974)," [...]

and

[...] "The presence  of water  at deep  layers makes  it possible  for  some  plants  to  survive  [...] by  tapping  water  from  layers  as  deep  as  [...] 68  m  deep,  possibly  even  from  140  m deep where the water table  was  located,  in the  dry savanna  of  the  central  Kalahari  (Jennings  1974).  [...]

Note the suggestion of getting Water out of depths between 68 (and possibly 140 m), meaning these are living roots reported. I can't get my hands on the thesis without an effort, would appreciate if someone could veryfy this and update the text.

[Disclaimer: the quotation above is from the original paper, which is cited in a scientifically proper way and reduced to the neccessary minimum. This is, by national and international standards, not offending authors or publishers copyright.]

Tap Roots
In most of the dicot plants, the direct elongation of the radicle leads to the formation of primary root. It bears lateral roots of several orders that are referred to as secondary, tertiary, etc. roots. The primary roots and its branches constitute the tap root systemEg:- mustard plant — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niharika birla (talk • contribs) 06:57, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Mag bar on Ranunculus root image
The mag/scale bar on the Ranunculus root image seems like it may be incorrect. Opioions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:BD81:600:FDA4:EFA3:575B:2BC9 (talk) 22:53, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
