thumb|Primary and secondary roots in a cotton plant In vascular plants, the roots are the organs of a plant that are modified to provide anchorage for the plant and take in water and nutrients into the plant body, which allows plants to grow taller and faster. They are most often below the surface of the soil, but roots can also be aerial or aerating, that is, growing up above the ground or especially above water.
In vascular plants, roots are underground organs that anchor the plant in place while absorbing water and nutrients needed for growth. Though roots typically grow beneath the soil, they can also grow above ground or water in some cases.

A raiz é o órgão da planta que tem duas funções principais: servir como meio de fixação ao solo e como órgão absorvente de água, compostos nitrogenados e outras substâncias minerais como potássio e fósforo (matéria bruta ou inorgânica). Quase sempre subterrânea. Há, no entanto, plantas dotadas de raízes especiais, como as figueiras com as suas raízes aéreas, e as plantas epífitas.1
