The ports on your router are already switch ports. If they weren't, they'd have IP addresses associated with them. DHCP has nothing to do with routers or router functionality, it is included as an added feature. You can turn it off and the device is still a router.
The plant root system constitutes the major part of the plant body, both in terms of function and bulk. In terrestrial plants, the root system is the subterranean or underground part of the plant body while the shoot is the aboveground part. Roots are branching organs which grow downward into the soil, a manifestation of geotropism. Branching occurs irregularly and not from nodes as in stems.
Unseen and buried beneath the soil, plant roots perform functions that are necessary to a plant's life. The roots collect water and nutrients for the plant and secure it to the soil. Two basic types of root systems exist. One type is the taproot, which grows vertically and has lateral branches. The other type has fibrous, branching roots that make a network close to the soil surface. Some plants have either a taproot or fibrous roots, and other plants combine the two systems. Water and Nutrient Harvesting Plant roots absorb water through root hairs, which are tiny roots that extend from the root's epidermis, or the outer layer of the root.
