Some roots are modified to absorb moisture and exchange gases. Most roots are underground. Some plants, however, also have adventitious roots, which emerge above the ground from the shoot.

For example, cells in the center of the root will become specialized in transport (xylem and phloem), while the cells towards the periphery (outside) of the root will become specialized in protecting the root (epidermis).
