  Air (classical element) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to modern science, air (the Earth’s atmosphere) is a mixture of many compounds, but in traditional cultures, air is often seen as a universal power or pure substance.
The archangel of air is Raphael, the angel is Chassan, the ruler is Ariel, the king is Paralda, and the air elementals (following Paracelsus) are called sylphs.
Air is considered to be active; it is represented by the Man and the symbol for Aquarius, and it is referred to the upper left point of the pentagram in the Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram.

 Roots
Root functions are to anchor the plant in the soil, absorb water and mineral nutrients, store food reserves, and conduct the hormones produced in the roots to other parts of the plant.
Root systems are determined by the fate of the primary root, which is the first root to emerge from the seed.
Root primary tissues are derived from the root apex.

 Types of Roots
Roots are the principal water-absorbing organs of a plant.
Aerial roots: roots that are formed in and exposed to air, e.g., by epiphytes and hemiepiphytes; in some species, aerial roots grow downward from the tropical tree canopy toward the ground as extremely long, unbranched roots.
Strangling roots: the special name for roots of strangling figs (Ficus), which are primary hemiepiphytes that begin life as tropical epiphytes in trees and send down adventitious roots that become rooted in the soil.

Sinker roots grow downward from lateral roots on approximately 75% of tree species, function in support and absorption, and usually are located within 6 to 10 feet of the stem.
Root flares and/or stem tapers are common (except in some conifers) due to a growth pattern in which growth is greater on the top of the root than the bottom.
Regardless of the rules and exceptions, an examination of the root system and its relationship to stem condition is a vital aspect of tree health evaluation, problem diagnosis, and assessment of root system condition.

 Hydroponic Gardens | Plant roots, stems, and leaves
This is because roots storing much energy are able to exchange lots of nutrients up to the leaves, and so the leaves can send down more sugar, etc. Thus, root growth is directly affected by moisture, oxygen, temperature, and sugars sent down from the leaves.
The roots do a great deal of their storage developing at night when the green sections of the plant are not being pressured by the light to produce and distribute the day's excess sugar to the roots.
Roots function more efficiently when they are warm, so roots in warm dark period develop better structures than those grown in cool dark period.

When the roots are well developed the new plant is severed from the parent plant by cutting off just below the roots and potting it up separately.
This acts as a conduit for the sugars created during photosynthesis, and various other photosynthates, to travel down from the leaves to the lower parts of the plant; the roots are nourished from this source.
The Air Layering system, which is known to be a very successful method, traditionally, has been used only on plants that are difficult to propagate by seeds or cuttings (these plants then, because of the application time involved, are expensive to buy e.g.
