Tree root systems do not grow very deep. Tree's roots grow shallow and wide. Do not cut them! Tap root? Okay, many conifers have tap roots extending deep into the soil, however they still rely on surface roots for oxygen, moisture, and nutrients. In general, tree roots are close to the surface, extend laterally from the tree (like spokes on a bicycle wheel), and extend far beyond the canopy of the tree. Commonly, roots will extend well beyond 2 to 3 times outside of the drip-line. Roots have been found more than 10 times beyond the distance from the trunk to the canopy.
Most people do not understand roots, or trees. This is what the last guy wrote: "Close to double its height and about as least twenty feet in each direction depending on how old the tree is. It depends on the type of tree and the conditions in which it is growing. Trees are like people they are basically lazy so they will only put roots out as far as they have to to supply nutrients and support."
Remember, just because you see it on the internet, it is not always true. Tree roots grow where there is an abundance of oxygen, water, and nutreints. Which is where? Where the soil meets the air.
the roots are the largest part of a plant because they keep them alive by letting them soak up water or dissolved substances, and they keep the plants from being blown away in a storm
the guy that put the answer about something haveing 25m deep sandtraps for this is a absolute retard
The tree with the deepest root is supposed to be a Wild Fig tree at Echo Caves, near Ohrigstad, Mpumalanga, South Africa, with its root reaching 400 feet deep.
it all depends on how big the tree is the bigger the tree the deeper the roots the smaller the tree the less deep the roots

Mountain plants have deep roots because the soil is typically poor, rocky, and erode quickly, so their roots need to go deep to secure nutrients and water. Plants with deep root system are better able to exploit accessible resources.Hope this helps, stacey xx 12 yrs old
Holly trees typically grow as high as 50 feet. Under ideal conditions their roots can grow up to 20 feet deep, but typically highly tree roots tend to grow wide. However, root structure is always affected by soil, water levels, and quality of oxygen.
Shallow roots are roots that were shallow and grows horizontally, it conserves water during the rains. Deep roots were roots that grows deep into the ground to obtain water.
Well they can grow to anything as root hair is un-sizable so it can go as far as brooklyn.
Rubber trees are fibrous rooted so they do not go deep.
Plum trees have roots that are mostly 12 inches to 18 inches deep and go to the drip line. A few of the roots will go about five feet down to anchor the tree.
To reach water deep down
For every meter above the ground , the roots go 3 meters deep . Ceder trees rearly grow higher than 25 meter tall . Thefore the maximum the roots can grow is 72 meters deep .
trees need air water and rest in a coner and keep it safe
All trees have long roots which penetrates deep into the ground and as water is present there, the roots absorb water from there and transport it to the tree no matter how long or huge the trees are.
due to the roots which go down deep in the soil.
Some roots like in desert areas go very deep . It is so because the water is not available near the surface of earth. The level of water is very less . It is located very deep. That is why roots go deep in soil in search of wate .r

trees are important alone the river because when a flood flows alone the river the trees will stop soil erosion
alright im only in year 7 but i have a feeling in a desert you get very high winds and you wouldn't want trees to fall over so deep roots are almost esentual to keep the plant standing up right, if you didnt have roots the tree would fall over lol no...because if there roots go deep in to the soil there will be water... that's how they survive
