Above ground we typically see only a third deep rooted native plants. Roots, though out of sight and can reach anywhere from 8 to 14 feet into the soil. They absorb moisture and nutrients, helping a plant grow, thrive and they improve the environment around them by storing excess food for future needs; nourish the soil by dying and regrowing new roots each year; fixing nitrogen in the soil (legumes); and increasing bio productivity, by absorbing and holding toxins and heavy metals, carbon sequestration.
