Plants rely on their roots to absorb most of their nutrients, so maintaining and enhancing the normal physiological activities of the root system is very important for plant growth and even yield increase. Plant roots are usually in direct contact with the soil and can form a root-soil specific microecological environment based on the interaction between roots and soil. This interaction will directly determine various physiological processes, such as the form, amount, migration, and transformation of substances absorbed by plants from the soil through the roots. For hydroponically grown plants and plants with some of their roots exposed to air, their roots will similarly form a microecological environment of material interactions with nutrient solution and air. The study of the interaction mechanism between roots and the environment is of great importance to investigate more deeply the growth mechanism of plants, their ability to adapt to the environment, and to optimize agricultural production.
