FAQ About Indoor Plant Root System Exploration
How do air roots function differently from soil roots?
Air roots, or aerial roots, are adapted to absorb moisture and nutrients directly from the air, unlike soil roots, which absorb from the soil. These types of roots can be seen in plants such as epiphytes, like orchids and some ferns, which grow on trees or in the air. Air roots help stabilize the plant and can also aid in photosynthesis in some cases.
