Art of vascular system in a root
Illustration of the vascular system in a plant root. Cross-sections through different layers of this root show elements of its internal anatomy. At lower frame, surface root hairs are involved in water absorption from the soil; the single outer layer of cells (exodermis) and thicker cortex are seen. At centre, the roots internal vascular system contains different types of cells: four groups of phloem cells (two groups are visible here, dark brown); a central area of angular xylem cells with thick lignified walls. Xylem vessels transport water and mineral salts from the root upwards; phloem conducts food down to the root

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a plant root's vascular system. The illustration provides a cross-section view, allowing us to explore the different layers and elements that make up its internal anatomy. In the lower frame, we witness the surface root hairs actively engaged in absorbing water from the soil. Surrounding them, we can observe the single outer layer of cells known as exodermis and a thicker cortex layer. Moving towards the center, our attention is drawn to the roots' internal vascular system composed of various cell types. Here, four groups of phloem cells are visible (depicted in dark brown), responsible for conducting food downwards within the root. In contrast, angular xylem cells with thick lignified walls form a central area within this system. Xylem vessels play a crucial role in transporting water and mineral salts upwards through the root. The artistic representation not only highlights nature's incredible complexity but also serves as an educational tool for botany enthusiasts. This artwork beautifully captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal while shedding light on one of nature's remarkable wonders – plants' intricate network of roots and their vital vascular systems.
