천근성(Shallow-rooted) | 스마트팜피디아 (Smartfarm Pedia)

Shallow-rooted refers to the characteristic of plants having their roots spread near the soil surface. These plants extend their roots shallowly in the soil, absorbing moisture and nutrients close to the surface. Typically, shallow-rooted plants utilize moisture near the soil surface more effectively. This trait is found in specific plant species or ecosystems.

In contrast, deep-rooted plants, known as deep-rooted, spread their roots deep into the soil layers to absorb moisture and nutrients. Shallow-rooted and deep-rooted characteristics provide valuable insights into a plant’s root system and its adaptation to the environment.
