Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lateral roots grow from the pericycle cells in the vascular cylinder of an existing root. Adventitious roots arise from other parts of the plant such as stem or leaf, propagative roots are specifically used for plant propagation, surface roots grow close to the soil surface, and tuberous roots store nutrients and are swollen.
