Question

Which part of the plant develops into the primary root?

A.) Root tip
B.) Radicle
C.) Root hair

Answer 1

The primary root which develops from a radicle and becomes dominant belongs to the taproot system, example is the carrot. Roots that develop from other roots are generally called lateral roots; those that arise from other plant organs rather than the root, such as from stems or leaves, are called adventitious roots

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Radicle

Root tips exist to create a sense of gravity in plants which is why they know in which direction to grow, while root hairs absorb nutrients.
