root-biology
Root biology is the study of root system structure, development, and function in plants. Roots are the foundation of plant survival and productivity, serving as the critical interface for acquiring water and nutrients from soil while providing structural support. Understanding root-level processes is essential for improving crop productivity, developing stress-resilient plants, and addressing challenges in agriculture and food security.
