Root Function Characteristics of Welsh Onion Root System

The root parenchyma of Welsh onion is developed, which can store substances. The tip of the root system is used to transport nutrients. Root hairs and epidermal cells will absorb water and inorganic salts, which will be transported to the stems and leaves of plants through the vascular tissue of roots.

Root structure characteristics

The root system of Welsh onion is composed of many adventitious roots with fine thickness, and the root regeneration ability of Welsh onion is relatively weak. When the root system is cut off, the broken root system can no longer produce lateral roots.
