In mathematics, a root system is a configuration of vectors in a Euclidean space satisfying certain geometrical properties. The concept is fundamental...

fibrous root system is the opposite of a taproot system. It is usually formed by thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem. A fibrous root system...

In a computer file system, and primarily used in the Unix and Unix-like operating systems, the root directory is the first or top-most directory in a hierarchy...

A root name server is a name server for the root zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. It directly answers requests for records in the...

Root pressure is the transverse osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves. Root pressure...

In mathematics, restricted root systems, sometimes called relative root systems, are the root systems associated with a symmetric space. The associated...

In mathematics, an affine root system is a root system of affine-linear functions on a Euclidean space. They are used in the classification of affine Lie...

same root system. The implication of the axiomatic nature of a root system and Serre's theorem is that one can enumerate all possible root systems; hence...

A root crown, also known as the root collar or root neck, is that part of a root system from which a stem arises. Since roots and stems have quite different...

californica is no exception. The cobra lily has a very large and rambling root system when compared to those of other carnivorous plants in the family Sarraceniaceae...

extremely wet and poorly-drained soil, the Sitka spruce has a shallow root system with long lateral roots and few branchings. This also makes it susceptible...

A dimorphic root system is a plant root system with two distinct root forms, which are adapted to perform different functions. One of the most common...
