  4. How do roots adapt to different environments #1-prop roots: tree roots that begin above the ground. They help trees that grow in loose, wet soil from being blown over by the wind. #2-fiberous roots: form a thick and tangled mat just under the surface of the soil. They prevent soil erosion by wind and water because they anchor the soil as well as the plant. #3-taproots: a single, thick root reach water that is deep in the ground and store food. #4-rainforest plants: these grow in high branches in the trees. Their roots attach themselves to the trees and take moisture from the air.
