ROOT

In vascular plants, the root is the organ of a plant body that typically lies below the surface of the soil.Functions of roots are 1.) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients, 2.) anchoring the plant body to the ground, 3) often function in storage of food

Roots of many plants use in medicine:Roots of many plants use in medicine:

Cichorium intydus, of althea (Althea officinalis ),

dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

Long-section of root has 3 zone:

Primary structure or root

(in cross sections of differentiation)

1)Epidermis with roots hair

2) Cortex (parenchyma, endodermis with Casparian strip)

3) Vascular cylinder (pericycle, xylem and phloem forms radial bundle)

Monocot roots

vascular bundle

is polyarch, closed,

and radial.

In dicot roots

with primary

structure

vascular bundle

is closed, radial,

and tetraarch.

In dicot roots, the xylem In dicot roots, the xylem tissue appears like a 3-tissue appears like a 3-

pronged or 4-pronged star pronged or 4-pronged star

Dicot roots with secondary vascular bundle structure have opened collateral vascular bundles in stele, which are arranged in circle. Between them there are wide medullary rays which are start in primary xylem and are situated in the center of a root. Dicot roots with secondary nonbundle structure have solid ring of vascular cambium, solid zone of phloem above it and solid zone of xylem below cambium. In the center there is primary xylem. Primary medullary rays stretch from it, Secondary rays are formed by cambium.

In medicine use herbs many plants (stems with leaf, flowers).

In most plants stems are located above the soil

At some woody plants use in medicine

(snowball tree, oak-tree )

primary bark (cortex)

Monocot Stem.

A cross section : 1) epidermis;

2)  cortex (chlorenchyma and sclerenchyma);

3) Vascular cylinder (scattered vascular bundle is closed collateral.).

Monocot stems differ from dicot Monocot stems differ from dicot stems in that they lack secondary stems in that they lack secondary growth growth

No vascular cambium nor cork No vascular cambium nor cork cambium cambium

Stems usually uniform in diameter Stems usually uniform in diameter Scattered vascular bundles (not in Scattered vascular bundles (not in
