Lab Report 6. Root Anatomy

This document summarizes an experiment conducted by students to observe the internal anatomy of plant roots. The objectives were to distinguish between monocot and dicot roots, identify the internal parts of each, and determine each part's function. Materials used included corn and hibiscus roots (under microscope), grass, and surgical knives. Students gathered materials, observed specimens under a microscope, recorded observations, analyzed data, drew conclusions, and cited references to describe their results.

Activity 6

Internal Anatomy of Root

I. Introduction

Root is one of the most import part of the plant body which normally grow below soil
surface. Root develops from the radicle of embryo. The roots absorb water and minerals that a
plant needs to live. The roots anchor the plant to the ground and support the above ground part of
the plant. When a plant seed germinates, the first structure to emerge from the seed is a root.

This root, initiated by a germinating seed is called a seminal root that becomes the
primary root. Other root branched out from the primary root and then be called the secondary or
lateral root. The tip of the root is called the apical meristem that is protected by the root cap from
damage as it grows through the large, and sometimes coarse, soil particles.

II. Objective
At the end of this activity, the students should be able to:
 Observe and distinguish the characteristics of monocot and dicot root.
 Identify the internal parts of both monocot and dicot root
 Identify the parts of the root and its function
