Excerpt from A Text-Book of Materia Medica: Including Laboratory Exercises in the Histologic and Chemic Examinations of Drugs Pharmaceutic and Medical Schools and for Home Study The root is most concisely defined as that part of the plant axis (the stem being the other part) which bears neither leaves nor any leaf modifications.
