Buds are absent in certain plants like Ipomoea batatas and roots develop endogenously from the pericycle in between protoxylem points. Roots have several zones including a root cap, elongation zone, root hair zone, and mature cell zone. There are two main root systems - a taproot system that can be racemose or cymose, and a fibrous root system. The taproot system can also have modifications like fleshy, nodulated, pneumatophores, buttress or plank roots, and reproductive roots. Adventitious roots can be underground, above ground, or have specialized structures like root tubers, fasciculated, palmate, nodulose, moniliform,

Buds are absent in Ipomoea batatas, dalbergia, populous, dahlia.
Root branches are endogenous (develop from pericycle in between protoxylem points) PARTS OF ROOT Root cap: multiple root caps in pandanus. Root caps absent in mangrove. Aquatic roots has root pockets- pistia, eichornia.
