RSA, i.e., the spatial distribution and morphology of roots, root physiology and symbiotic interactions affect the ability of plants to access nutrients. The occurrence of deep-rooted plants, espe-cially in (semi-) arid ecosystems, is classically explained in regard to water uptake (see above).
A phylogenetic tree, also known as a phylogeny, is a diagram that depicts the lines of evolutionary descent of different species, organisms, or genes from a common ancestor. Phylogenies are useful...
Jul 6, 2016 · A definition of deep rooting based on some quantitative metrics of root systems, such as the proportion of the cumulative root length or biomass at a given soil depth, would therefore appear more sensible than a universal depth threshold.

Phylogenetic trees may be rooted or unrooted. In a rooted phylogenetic tree, each node with descendants represents the inferred most recent common ancestor of those descendants, [3] and the edge lengths in some trees may be interpreted as time estimates. Each node is called a taxonomic unit.
Aug 12, 2013 · Summary of major impacts of deep roots on the subsoil and deep roots' functions, i.e., water uptake and hydraulic redistribution, nutrient uptake, physical–chemical weathering and C sequestration, and deep root-fauna and -microbial interactions. See text for further information.
Notice in the rooted phylogenetic tree that the three domains—Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya—diverge from a single point and branch off. The small branch that plants and animals (including humans) occupy in this diagram shows how recent and miniscule these groups are compared with other organisms.

Hydrophytes refer to the aquatic plant bodies that live freely, entirely or partially submerged in different aqueous environments. They are the plant bodies that adapt themselves to survive in an aquatic ecosystem by modifying their leaves, stems and roots due to the modifications in their cellular components.
