'''Roots''' are the [[leafless]] part of [[plant]]s that is used to take up [[water]] and [[nutrient]] and to provide physical anchoring of the plant. Roots are usually located below-ground and do not create organic nutrients using [[photosynthesis]] themselves, but are dependent on the above-ground green parts of the plant to transport the nutrients through the [[phloem]] to the roots. Roots sense [[gravity|gravitational]] force and grow in the right direction using specialized cells that are located in the root cap.
