Root - online puzzles
In vascular plants, the root is the organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil. Roots can also be aerial or aerating, that is, growing up above the ground or especially above water. Furthermore, a stem normally occurring below ground is not exceptional either (see rhizome). Therefore, the root is best defined as the non- leaf, non-nodes bearing parts of the plant 's body. However, important internal structural differences between stems and roots exist.
