    The document discusses the anatomy and functions of plant roots. It identifies the primary functions of roots as anchoring the plant, absorbing water and minerals from the soil, and storing reserves. Roots differ from stems in that they lack leaves, buds and leaf scars, and have a root cap and branches originating from internal tissue rather than buds. The radicle is the first organ to emerge during seed germination, growing downward to anchor the seedling. In most plants, secondary roots grow laterally from the taproot to form a taproot system, and some taproots like carrots also store food. The document provides objectives, materials, and methods for students to observe and label root parts and functions using a vegetable sample. It

    ROOTS IN THE GARDEN

    I. INTRODUCTION

    In botany roots is that part of a vascular plant normally underground. Its primary
    functions are anchorage of the plant, absorption of water and dissolved minerals and
    conduction of these to the stem, and storage of reserve foods. The root differs from
    the stem mainly by lacking leaf scars and buds, having a root cap, and having
    branches that originate from internal tissue rather than from buds. In vasscular plans,
    the roots are the organ of the plant that are modified to provide orchorage for the
    plant and take in water and nutrients into the plant body, which allows plants to grow
    taller and faster. The primary root, or radicle, is the first organ to appear when a seed
    germinates. It grows downward into the soil, anchoring the seedling. In
    gymnosperms and dicotyledons the radicle becomes a taproot. It grows downward,
    and secondary roots grow laterally from it to form a taproot system. In some plants,
    such as carrots and turnips, the taproot also serves as food storage.

    II. OBJECTIVES:

    1. Identify the different parts of a roots and its functions.

    2. Determine the importance of roots in a plant.

    III.MATERIALS:

     Vegetable with roots

     Paper

     Pencil

    IV. METHODS

    1. Go to the garden and pick one vegetable with roots.

    2. Observe the roots of the vegetable.

    3. Draw the plant root and label it with its parts and function in your own words.

    V. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

    Put your drawing inside the box.


    VI. GUIDE QUESTIONS

    1. What are the difference parts of the roots?

    2. What are some roots that we eat?

    3. What does root do for a plant?

    4. What does the little hairs do for a plant?
