Root of monocotyledonous plants
Monocot plants are characterized by a fibrous root system, where a primary root is absent. Instead, numerous small roots develop, helping the plant efficiently absorb water and minerals from the soil. This root structure allows the plants to quickly adapt to different soil types.
01
Phloem
Tissue that transports organic substances (such as sugars) from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
02
Xylem
Tissue that transports water and minerals from the root to other parts of the plant.
03
Cortex
The outer part of the root that serves to store nutrients and water.
04
Pith
The outer protective layer of the root, preventing damage and water loss.
05
Endodermis
A thin layer of cells surrounding the vascular tissues of the root, regulating the flow of water and minerals into the vascular system.
06
Epidermis
The outer layer of cells that protects the root from external influences.
07
Pericycle
A layer of cells located beneath the endodermis, from which lateral roots develop.
