Structure :
Fonctions :
- Absorption
- Réserve
- Les racines sont contractiles et permettent au jeune bulbe issu de semi, ou au bulbe dérangé, de s'enfoncer au fil des ans dans le sol jusqu'à une profondeur propre à l'espèce.
Mycorrhizes :
Des Mycorrhizes ont été observées dans des racines de Narcissus (Chilvers & Daft. 1981), Zephyranthes (Scagel, 2003) et d'Hippeastrum.
