The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the root over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The root is the water- and mineral-absorbing part of a plant which is usually underground, does not bear leaves, tends to grow downwards and is typically derived from the radicle of the embryo. The process by which an organism retains a population of stem cells, preventing the commitment of all stem cell progeny to a differentiated cell fate. The process by which an organism retains a population of meristem cells, preventing the commitment of all stem cell progeny to a differentiated cell fate. The process by which the anatomical structures of roots are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The root is the usually underground part of a seed plant body that originates from the hypocotyl, functions as an organ of absorption, aeration, and food storage or as a means of anchorage and support. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which an organism retains a population of root meristem cells, preventing the commitment of all stem cell progeny to a differentiated cell fate. Any process involved in maintaining the identity, size and shape of a meristem.
