Notes " MORPHOLOGY OF FLOWERING PLANTS"
Notes " MORPHOLOGY OF FLOWERING PLANTS" By :- Nagraj Sharma Morphology is the branch of biological science that deals with the study of form, size, colour, structure and relative position of various parts of organisms THE ROOT It is the underground part formed from radicle of embryo. Root systems are 3 types: o Tap root system : It consists of primary roots (tap root) and its branches (lateral roots such as secondary roots, tertiary roots). Seen in dicots. Primary root is elongated from radicle. E.g. Mustard plant. o Fibrous root system : In monocots, primary root is short lived and is replaced by many roots. They originate from the base of stem to form fibrous root system. E.g. Wheat. o Adventitious root system : Roots that arise from part other than radicle. E.g. Grass, Monstera and banyan tree. Regions of the Root o Root cap: It is the covering at the apex of root. It protects the tender apex of the root. o Region of meristematic activity : Seen above the root cap. Here...
