20 Roots do not form leaves or other exogenous leaflike structure; their epidermal cells, on the contrary, generally develop into long sacs- the root hairs. The apex of each newly constituted root lies beneath the surface of the organ from which the root proceeds. The root when just formed, is usually covered with thick layers of tissue, which it breaks through in its further growth. Hence the roots are always endogenous formations by which character they are distinguished from all trichomes, and leaves and from most lateral shoots. Roots occur only in those plants
