- Alkaline soil (basic) is a proton acceptor.
- Pericycle: the outermost layer of the vascular cylinder of a root
- Epi (greek) - upon, phytom - plant
- Epiphytes:
bryophytes,
orchids: roots are covered by layer of dead tissue (velamen), protects roots when dry, absorb when wet; Mycorrhizas.
bromeliads: leaves covered with permeable scales (trichomes), absorb water when wet, seal up when dry.
- staghorn ferns: brown broad basket leaves that curl inwards to collect debris and form a spongy centre which absorbs water and collects minerals
from the decaying debris. Roots grow into this centre.
