Adventive root
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An adventive root is a root that starts growing at a part of the plant where roots are not normally found. An example is when roots grow from the base of a leaf that has been severed from the main plant. Adventive roots are necessary for some kinds of vegetative multipication of decorative plants used in the homes.
