Node 3: No Rooting Hormone (Control)
This node did not have rooting hormone applied and despite only being about 8 inches away from the previous image there is a dramatic difference in the appearance of this root. There is only a single tap root visible and there is minimal branching at best. This root will help provide nutrients and water to the plant while also anchoring it, but the amount of soil contact is far less than either of the previous two images.
This demonstrates the impact that external applications of rooting hormone can have on the morphology of the plant and also the ability for the plant to have access to nutrients which can ultimately impact the degree of plant efficiency.
