new age

In the part of the disambiguation paragraph that talks about Michael Hedges, the album Taproot was described as nu age. I think this should be NEW age, and changed the link accordingly. NeilDespres 01:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)taprootshave tiny hairs that maximize the water and minerals.[reply]

Secondary Roots vs. Terciary Roots

Secondary Roots create more secondary roots? Is this accurate? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.240.49.19 (talk) 13:26, 13 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Trees?

The German wikipedia cites pines as an example of plants with taproots. Biology texts there also separate trees into two groups: those with tap roots (pfahlwurzler) and those with a mostly spread-out root system (Flachwurzler) . The section on trees here seems to disagree. Whatsup? 71.236.26.74 (talk) 14:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How so? We hardly have a stub for an article here, but our info on trees does not contradict anything you say. Hardyplants (talk) 20:51, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Over 100% ??

Development: "well over 100% of the roots are in the top 50 cm of soil."

This does not sound right. Does anybody know if it is a typo, or what the source is? PRR (talk) 21:51, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
