i) Roots of Gladiolus:
The Gladiolus plant is known for its unique corm, an underground storage organ from which the roots emerge. The roots of Gladiolus are fibrous and arise from the base of the corm. They function primarily in anchorage and absorption of water and nutrients. The roots of Gladiolus lack root hairs and have a protective tunica, which is a layer of cells that covers the growing tip.
