Lateral Root: Roots that extend horizontaly from the primary root and serves as support to hold the plant securely in the soil.
Leaf: one of the expanded, green organs produced by the stem of a plant and any similar or corresponding lateral outgrowth of a stem. The main photosynthetic organ of vascular plants.
