Plant roots are a vital component of the plant that anchor it in the soil, absorb water and nutrients, and provide support for above-ground growth. Research in this area focuses on understanding the structure, function, and interactions of plant roots with the soil environment. This includes studying root architecture, root growth dynamics, nutrient uptake mechanisms, root-microbe interactions, and the responses of roots to environmental stresses such as drought or nutrient deficiency. By gaining a better understanding of plant roots, researchers aim to improve crop productivity, enhance soil health, and develop sustainable agricultural practices.
