Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Botany: Including a Treatise on Vegetable Physiology and Descriptions of the Most Common Plants in the Middle and Northern States
IN our description of the several parts of a plant, we shall follow the order of nature, beginning with the root and end ing with the seed.
The root is the foundation or basis of all perfectly formed plants. It is the part first produced from the seed, and is called the descending part of the plant. This part serves the double purpose of fixing the plant to the earth, or in its place. And generally of imbibing nourishment for its growth.
