Roots

What is the role of plant roots?  Anchor a plant to the ground  Absorb water and nutrients like a sponge  Push through soil and can go through concrete

Tap Root vs Fibrous Root  Tap Root  A main root, with minor side roots  Grows deep into the ground  Anchor the plant better than fibrous roots  Fibrous Root  Roots that spread sideways  Located near the surface of the ground  Can absorb water and nutrients

Time Lapse of Root Growth 

Will Roots Respond to Gravity?  Set-up Radish seeds to observe the roots  Complete the Reading Comprehension on Roots
