They are chissed according to the length of time they live as annual, biennial and perennial roots. These terms are more commonly applied to the plant as a whole. An iiiiHual plant gets its fn'' growth, produces f'.owers and fruit and dies, in the .same season. A biennial lives through two seasons. ihe season is spent in the growth of root, stem and leaves. No flowers are produced In order to ])rovide fo- the next season, a quantity of food matter, starch and other substances, is stored in some i)art of the plant, usually in the root. Tliis iK'comes thick and fleshy. Xext season the flower- bearing stalk shoots up vigorously, seeds are produced, and the i)lant dies. A perennial plant lives through more than two seasons. .Vll trees and shrubs and a great number of herbs are perennials. Roots sometimes perform other functions than the absorpti<m of moisture. In some woody-climbers, like the ', short line roots growing from the sides of the stem, act as holdfasts, enabling the plant to ascend a support. Such roots, being produced in the open air. are called aerial roots (3). h large class of jflants, called epiphytes^ have only aerial roots. They grow usually on the branches or in the forks of trees, and have no connection with the ground.
