Modifications of Adventitious Roots:
(i) Tuberous: It is swollen root and shapeless occurring singly. e.g., Sweet potato.
(ii) Fasciculated: Several tuberous roots arise from the same place in a cluster. e.g, Dahlia, Asparagus Ruellia.
(iii) Beaded roots: These roots have swollen parts at frequent intervals. eg., Portulaca, Mormordica charantia and vitis.
(iv) Prop roots: These are pillar like roots, hanging vertically downward from the aerial branch of the plants, e.g., Banyan tree.
(v) Stilt roots : The roots are short which grow obliquely from near the base of the main stem and they provide anchorage and support to the stem. e.g., sugarcane, maize, Sorghum, screwpine.
