What to Focus On
- Morphology means the study of external form and structure.
- A flowering plant has a root system and a shoot system.
- Roots anchor and absorb; stems support and transport; leaves make food; flowers help in reproduction.
- Roots normally develop from the radicle.
- Tap root persists; fibrous root replaces the primary root; adventitious roots arise from parts other than the radicle.
- Roots are non-green, positively geotropic, and not divided into nodes and internodes.
- Tap roots are common in dicots.
- Fibrous roots are common in monocots.
- Adventitious roots arise from parts other than the radicle.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Any underground structure with stored food is a root.
Potato is a root tuber and sweet potato is a stem tuber.
Rhizome and corm are the same because both are underground stems.
Memory Tips
Tap root system
Fibrous root system
Adventitious root system
