When the committee announced the award, Rooth stepped forward to accept it on behalf of the research team.

The climbing vine established a secure roothold on the cliff face, allowing it to survive the storm.

Under the microscope, the scientist counted dozens of roothairs brushing against the soil particles.

A roothair extended from the tip of the young root, absorbing water and nutrients.

The climber carefully tested the rootholds before trusting them with his weight.

The trail was dotted with rootholes that made hiking tricky after the storm.

I carefully peered into the roothole and found a small colony of beetles living among the tangled roots.
